The intricate dress and shoe sculptures form an exhibition called Ethereal, which perfectly sums up their delicate and almost transparent nature.
A hour-glass wedding dress with a fitted bodice sprinkled with bows is infused with strands of golden thread. Tiny jewels twinkle and a swirl of organza forms a train, while a sprinkling of confetti completes the look.
Another creation uses shimmering leaves trapp-ed between layers of gossamer-like fabric so that some are partly concealed.
And the fragile pairs of shoes, straight from the pages of Cinderella, are adorned with sequins and ribbons.
Pat, a mature student at Todmorden Community College, has been working on the sculptures for the past year.
Each item is unique – not least because it is based on some underlying issue or emotion.
"I like to trap memories in the sculptures by including things that are personal or special in the layers. It could be pieces of old jewellery or even photographs. That way each piece means something in particular," she says.
Pat, who is 54 and lives in Hebden Bridge, originally trained as a hairdresser, studying at Calder-dale College on a course that included art.
"I loved the art bit of it especially, but I have always taken night classes in various things such as stained glass making and life drawing," she says.
Pat then spent 16 years working for Calderdale Social Services as a care co-ordinator and a support worker. "I used to do a lot of craft sessions while I was working with the elderly, which I loved," she says.
But it was when her children – Claire, now a GP, Daniel, an engineer and Joe, studying bio medicine at Newcastle University, had flown the nest, that Pat picked up her studies.
She joined the Routeway course at Todmorden Community College bef-ore fast-tracking on to the degree course.
Pat is now in her second year of a visual arts BA degree course – and loving every minute.
"Going into higher education at my age is amazing. I never thought it would happen but the kids really inspired me. They have all gone to university and encouraged me," she says.
"I love working with materials that have been discarded," she says of her shoe and dress sculptures.
"Some are embellished with embroidery and old personal jewellery, fusing man-made and organic materials together. The process consists of trapping, layering, weaving, binding and embroidering," she says.
"They are fine art items rather than fashion items – although people have asked me if they could be worn."
Pat often visits galleries and art exhibitions and gets inspiration for her work.
"The process of trapping memories in items also fascinates me – that way the finished item often means something very special. I don't like to do two pieces alike," she says.
Pat is now working on a new collection, illustrating exploitation surrounding the clothing industry.
"I want to get across that whole business of sweat shops and slave labour so this time I'll be looking at materials such as carrier bags," she says.
Pat is now hoping to make a career out of her passion and is already selling her pieces through galleries, craft fairs and shops.
She is also undertaking commissions and hopes to stage more exhibitions at Calderdale College.
"I love putting on the exhibitions and it's lovely when people make nice comments about my work," she says.
