Welcome to Design & Make With Shanice — a sewing and upcycling space for creatives who want to design, make and style their own pieces. Here, I share everything from thrift transformations, to sewing tutorials along with handmade pieces and digital patterns you can use to create your own.
Whether you’re just starting out or growing your skillset, my goal is to make sewing feel accessible, inspiring and personal. I do this by sharing beginner-friendly tutorials and patterns, helping you build confidence and create pieces you’ll truly love to wear – without the high price tag.
Alongside sewing, I also explore design through small creative collections, where I turn my artwork into wearable pieces. Feel free to explore my shop for patterns, handmade items, and creative collections designed by me.
Born and raised in London, I’ve always had a love for creativity and fashion. From a young age, I found myself drawn to designing clothes, sketching ideas, and bringing inspiration from films and TV into my own creative world.
By the time I was 9, I knew I wanted to pursue a path where I could fully express myself through design and making. That passion has since grown into sewing, creating, and building my own pieces from scratch.
Today, I’m continuing that journey as a sewist and creative, sharing my process and inspiring others to explore fashion in their own way.
