About Cat Nash
Hi! I’m a conscious fashion designer and maker. Alongside my clothing alterations in Norwich, I design one-off pieces of slow fashion from items that are destined for scrap. I work within the community to find materials, and lovingly bring them to life at my studio in Norwich. You’ll often find me travelling up and down the country, selling my designs at major events including The Good Clothes Show.
You can find more of my work on Facebook and Instagram – I’d love to connect with you!

Love projects like this! A bridesmaid dress alteration that included shortening the length and using the additional material to add a modesty panel to the front.

I combined lots of clothing items to form this amazing mad hatter costume.

A functional mermaid's tail costume made from scratch.

An upcycling project that combines ruffles, ribbons, and a black and pink palette for a unique cancan skirt.

Gorgeous vintage fabric that needed a little love. I made them into a custom curtain that fits the window perfectly.
