About The Designer

Michelle Paganini is skilled at upcycling, a method of reusing existing materials and producing something of greater value. She became passionate about upcycle sewing as a way of "greening" her own wardrobe and has since shared her designs through tutorials for home sewists. 

Michelle lives in California with her husband George (paganoonoo photographer) and their blended family of 5 children and 8 grandchildren live close by.
