Restored by Design Restored By Design, an exclusive custom design studio, founded by designer Martha Jackson, extraordi We create fashion style by reclaiming and reinventing.

Welcome to Restored By Design, where fashion style is reclaimed and reinvented. We are a green artisan company dedicated to the creation of eco-fashion jewelry, clothing, accessories, home decor, rare finds, and unique works of art. We are a design studio, retail studio, and online gallery boutique based in Rhode Island. We celebrate the art of creating by hand here in America, preserving the valu

e and inspiration of the past, creating a more sustainable future. We revive, refresh, and restyle by designing new pieces from previously loved materials, vintage fabrics, reclaimed objects, and industry excesses. Our eclectic mix of raw materials uses a fraction of energy resources to manufacture. Production is limited and local, handmade in our studio, leaving a low carbon footprint. We are passionate about a greener life that helps grow community with style. At Restored By Design, we restore life by design. We invite you to visit our one-of-a-kind boho chic boutique and studio, a showcase of eco-fashion jewelry and apparel reinvented from found bits and bygone parts.

I do love to create with color… and more flowers - they make me happy as I “sketch” my layout for my next pair of upcycled jeans with floral applique from a couple of donated fabrics. They needed to be revived and refreshed for spring, from plain to extra special!!!

With snow and cold (when will it be Spring??) outside my studio windows, I am creating flowers in my own garden of flowers, inside. After picking up some inspiring vintage fabrics, I continue to build my soft pink collection…

My best pant yet!!!!
I made a pair of pants for a client, she wanted to copy one of her favorite pairs so I usually make a pattern, customize the fit and fabric. I have fallen in love with this pattern so much so, that I have made several other versions!
I have found a way to create collage art to wear by piecing different fabrics together, mostly by color and to use up the fabrics…
This style is high waisted, with a wider leg and pockets! You could say I’m on a roll making these pants!!!!

I am very excited to start my next collection - I’m calling ‘Romancing the Soft Pink’

I am inspired by these elements that I have put together on my mood board and want to give a huge thank you and shout out to for setting the stage for me on this. (I am taking a class called Pattern Play - more on this later). I used to create mood board collages way back when to illustrate trend direction and it feels soo good to make this for my own story - a little vintage fabric, lace, delicate flowers and textures, and plenty of femininity.
So I started diving in with some jewelry pieces…and more…

I am always inspired by the romantic, so I create beautiful things into a world full of stress and discord, to bring a little love 💗 …and so the heart shape, as a symbol of love, gets to be celebrated at Valentine’s Day, through the month of February and all year long. I am celebrating this as well with my new “softer” pin (because I love the PIN accessory, I wear one everyday) I created called my ‘SHARE THE LOVE” PIN ( and now wearing this one every day).
In the bigger picture, particularly in today’s environment, where we all need more love, (I know it sounds corny) Love to all!!! ❤️

In the end, to create my best pieces it must come from my heart. I believe this transfers into my pieces. It is especially gratifying when I create a piece for someone, and they love it!! The energy and attention to detail is part of my signature!!! I am trying very hard to look inward to find the peace in these times of turmoil, so that I may continue to create peaceful beauty!

I am deeply disturbed, deeply affected by the distain for the human spirit that I see from this administration - it is horrendous what they are doing within ICE and with relations around the world. I do not support it in the least. All I can do is speak out about my discontent…boycott where I can, be part of the huge wave to show the kind of world I want to live in -“ be part of the change you want to see”!

I am very encouraged by how the people in our communities are rallying, PEACEFULLY banding together to support each other. I am touched by the monks who are walking for peace. I look inward to find my peace so I too may be a beacon of light. Corny as it sounds, create love and peace!

Need some ideas for a unique gift for that special someone?
How about some sewing lessons?
These are what I offer year round to inspire more creativity in this world.
I find it a gratifying experience to not only teach someone the art of sewing, but to see them blossom when they make something with their own hands.

I am currently offering a one time opportunity for 50% off 4 weeks of sewing guidance, that’s a savings of $175. - a giveaway coupon to the first person to DM me to say Happy Holidays!!!💕
