Sewing

I sew my own clothes and keep a visual diary of my projects.

My last two makes of 2025: corduroy lane pants and denim ruby vest. 💫 I didn’t even realize until I put them on together that they were both @hisydgraham patterns, but duh her patterns are the best! What a year of making and styling!! 💖 I’ve always always always loved fashion, but this year in particular has made me feel most like myself—I have the knowledge and skill to make what I want to wear and fit it to my body. And what a difference that has made for my confidence and joy! I love exercising my creativity through sewing, knitting, and style and can’t wait to see my skills keep growing in 2026! New skirt hot off the machine! 🫶 Also it finally looks like fall in Austin—never mind that it’s mid-December. I hosted my first ever sewing workshop this weekend! Was so sweet teaching my friends to sew. 💕 finished my vest just in time for the weather to dip 🫶 A perfect holiday scrap buster!! 🎄🎁✂️ I’ve been blowing through the tiniest scraps in my stash making these trees, and it feels so good to keep scraps out of the landfill AND make beautiful things. scrappy jogakbo 🫶 I’ve wanted to make one of these for years—it felt like stitching together the legacies of my Korean grandmother on my dad’s side and my mom’s mom, who was an avid quilter. baby’s first zipper fly pants!!! 👖🫶 hope y’all can relate to this 😅
