A young fashion designer who taught himself how to sew using his mum's old sewing machine has gone viral online after upcycling unwanted coffee bean bags, rugs and jeans into stylish outfits.

In 2016 Noah Johnson, from Hobart, Australia, spent hours watching YouTube videos before putting what he learnt into practice through 'trial and error'.

After developing a creative flair he started the label 'ONEOFONE ARCHIVE' which has grown to attract a following of 16,000 people on Instagram and a staggering 193,000 on TikTok.

'Everything I make is upcycled using secondhand fabrics to have less impact on the environment, making each piece unique,' now 21-year-old told Daily Mail Australia.

One of his recent creations was made after walking past a local café and noticed they were disposing of empty coffee bags.

'I really owe it all to my mum because if she never had that sewing machine I may not have started,' Noah said, who's also a full-time artist.

While he broke the 30-year-old vintage machine, his mum bought him a new one to use.

He started off buying secondhand clothes as a cheaper, sustainable option to buying new fabrics.

'I started small by ripping apart jeans and ironing patches onto t-shirts to improve my skills,' he said.

Today Noah takes on bigger projects by making incredible one-off masterpieces using unlikely materials. 

'I told the café about my work and they agreeing to give me the bags. But the hessian material was challenging to work with because it was so tough and I had to find a way to prevent itchiness,' he said

After carefully cutting the pieces he needed, what would become the inside of the jacket was lined with red acrylic blankets and navy blue corduroy accents

On TikTok the video documenting how he made the coffee bag jacket has been viewed more than 3million times. 

When he saw the coffee bags lying on the floor near the café he instantly noticed the unique animal symbols and writing and knew he could turn it into something new.

'I told the café about my work and they agreeing to give me the bags,' he said.

'But the hessian material was challenging to work with because it was so tough and I had to find a way to prevent itchiness.' 

After carefully cutting the pieces he needed, what would become the inside of the jacket was lined with red acrylic blankets and navy blue corduroy accents.

One large interior pocket, two external pockets and front zipper were also sewn into the fabric.

Noah said he 'doesn't count the hours' it took to create the jacket but completed it in one week. 

The end result sold for $289.95 online and featured the tiger print on the right and text on the left. 

One of his favourite most recent creations is the 'mirrored brown jacket' made from made from locally sourced denim jeans and lined with cotton cloth (pictured left) 

The young creative also has hopes to move to Melbourne to continue his fashion journey

One of his favourite most recent creations is the 'mirrored brown jacket' made from made from locally sourced denim jeans and lined with cotton cloth. 

'It's a subtle but statement piece,' he said, and made the same design in blue and black that all sold for close to $300.    

Other stand-out pieces include a jacket made from a duvet cover featuring Monsters Inc characters and jeans with funky wavy patterns down the side. 

Noah said he's not focused on making a profit but instead wants to maintain his distinctive style while operating the small business. 

He has featured his designs in local runway shows before and while he wasn't fond of the stress, he said he will reconsider taking part again in future.

The young creative also has hopes to move to Melbourne to continue his fashion journey.
