Lisa Hodges, founder of Totes Upcycled www.instagram.com/totesupcycledireland graduated with a QQI 5 in Fashion Design and Sewing Skills in VTOS in 2020 and started her business during the pandemic.

“I create upcycled totes bag and accessories from preloved and vintage fabrics, some of which are printed with my own designs.  I would highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in fashion who would like to learn how to design and make their own clothes or anyone who already has experience with sewing who wants to upskill”.
