Paganoonoo

Paganoonoo = upcycle sewing made simple. We design upcycled fashions that are classic/arty, flattering, with plenty of hip and belly room and sell instructions so you can duplicate our designs. Upcycle sewing is easy on the budget, good for the planet and all the tough bits are already complete, like buttonholes, collars, plackets, etc! Our commitment is that you have access to successfully transforming existing clothing into new creations.
