Denim Jackets with a twist

Do you have a love of Denim Jackets as much as me? My name is Aileen and I am a textile artist based in the beautiful Somerset levels. I love to create decorative images and patterns on preloved denim jackets. Breathing new life into clothing which has been rejected and discarded. Sustainability in fashion is getting more popular.

Each jacket is individually decorated with a different design on each creation much like a painters canvas. Developed using a a variety of textile surface decoration and techniques.

Creative skills are applied using textile paint to create vivid landscape images and scenes taken from my local surroundings and well known places. I illustrate designs on paper and then convert them using up to date software into stunning embroidery designs which are machine stitched in fine detail into the denim. I will also manually embroider by free-motion design and hand stitching to create colour, pattern and images on each jacket. Every jacket is finished to a high standard, labelled and packaged ready to go to its new home.

I also offer a personalised service where jackets can be made to a clients brief.

For example a jacket to suit a special event like a wedding. Something personalised and special. Clothing which is timeless and wearable in many styles.
