Sewing

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

I started this account one year ago yesterday and I’ve had so much fun being a part of the sewing community on this silly little app!! I feel so inspired by all of you and hope I offer a fraction of that inspiration back! I got a new job that actually makes me feel like me, so obvi had to celebrate by making a shirt that also makes me feel like me! 🤸‍♂️ and at the start of year of the horse no less!! I’m very into making beaded dangly decor lately and this is my favorite one 🤩 all thrifted and upcycled beads, horse found at @austincreativereuse My two most recent makes go so well together 🤝 the magic of a deadline 💫💌 had so much fun making this willow top for valentines day! wanted it to be damson madder reminiscent and I think I accomplished that? a friend asked me to make her a custom tj’s bag and I said bet 👌 this tote is headed off to boston today 💌 Flat felled seam tutorial is here!! With just a teeny tiny bit of self drafting you can add this super fun detail to your pants. 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!
