Eco Fashion Education with Charlene Vivienne

I offer hands-on, creative education in sustainable and eco-conscious fashion, helping people discover how existing materials can be transformed into beautiful, wearable and meaningful pieces.

My approach is grounded in slow fashion, circular design and zero-waste creativity, using techniques such as:

♻️ Upcycling & repurposing — giving unwanted clothing and textiles a new life.

🧵 Slow stitching & hand embroidery — creating unique pieces through mindful, traditional techniques.

🌿 Natural dyeing — exploring colour from plants, botanicals and natural materials.

👗 Eco garment design — learning how to rethink, adapt and create clothing with sustainability in mind.

🪡 Creative textile techniques — patchwork, weaving, embellishment and working with fabric scraps.

🌊 Found & discarded materials — exploring how waste, including beach and marine debris, can become textile art.

💚 Circular fashion thinking — learning to value what we already have rather than continually buying new.

Through online workshops, demonstrations and practical creative sessions, I encourage participants to look at fashion differently—to use their imagination, work with what is already available and create something that reflects their own individual style.

My philosophy:

Slow down. Use what you have. Waste less. Create beautifully.
