Nicole Akong

Hi, I’m Nicole 👋. I’m a lifelong creative, who loves all things making 🪡🧶✂️ and fashion 👗. My first creative venture was setting up my own fashion jewellery line called Akong London in 2010, which I sold to several prestigious boutiques and department stores around the world. After spending several years in the fashion grinder, I got burnt out and decided to quit. During the 2 year career void that followed, I found myself coming back my first love, sewing. I re-entered public life by appearing, and becoming a Finalist, on Series 6 of the BBC’s Great British Sewing Bee. Since then, I’ve been sharing my creative projects with my 200k+ audience on Instagram.

Here on my new little corner of YouTube, I’ll be sharing some fun vlogs and useful tutorials, to inspire you to make all the things in your wardrobe infinitely more FABULOUS 🤩 — AND more sustainable 🌎! Thank you for joining me. Let’s get MAKING!! 🤗🤗🤗
