My name is DC and I am Queen of 3 R's (Reclaim, Revamp, Repurpose). I have my bachelor degree in fashion design. I have been sewing since I was 11 years old as I would watch my mother create beautiful clothes. I have been teaching for decades. I have decades of experience with upcycling clothes and I have been teaching others to do the same.
