Welcome to the wonderful world of textile upcycling!
Trashion Pattern would love to inspire you to upcycle and re-design your pre-loved clothes, like that dress you used to adore but can´t no longer fit in to, or your worn-out jeans, or your once so cool jacket, or that old shirt that used to belong to your grandfather, or.... The world is full of forgotten and un-loved clothes and textiles, hanging in the dark corners of lost wardrobes. Theses clothes are longing to get out again and meet the world. These clothes are lost treasures that you can recreate into masterpieces - TrashionPattern will show you how...
Hello, I`m Titti Augustsson and I am the founder behind Trashion Pattern. I have been doing upcycling for an eternity, remaking anything from my mothers old hats to my kids worn-out trousers. I have a long experience as a designer for fashion, film and theatre. I have been teaching sewing and handicrafts for many years and I love to share my skills.
I have diplomas from London College of Fashion, The Pattern Cutting Academy in Copenhagen and Fashion Forum in Paris. I also have a master degree in public health, specializing in the relationship between textile, the environment and health. You can find the master thesis here...
I live in the south of Sweden with my two teenage sons. Most of my time I spend teaching and working with textiles but when I have some time off I love to dance and take long walks by the sea.
I created TrashionPattern out of the global need to keep textiles out of landfills; If you double the lifetime of a garment you reduce it´s carbon footprint by 50%.
Through textile upcycling, we can choose to change the way we see old clothes and textiles, we can decide to see it as material that we can refine and make even better. Our once loved clothes and textiles can get a new life, transformed into something even better.
I am so excited to create and transform clothes together with you. Welcome to the wonderful world of trashion and textile upcycling!
