Did you know? You can create virtually ✨any✨ sewing pattern from the foundation patterns (bodice/shirt, skirt/pant) just by following simple formulas for adding and removing volume.


The biggest mistake I see when someone is learning to thread a serger is NOT following the number order. For most sergers this means threading from right to left, not left to right. (Opposite reading direction for most languages)


Taking the leap, especially on your own, is scary. Practice, prepare, and do it anyways. Your dream is just on the other side.


A dart can be transferred to any other point around the pattern without changing the fit of the garment - as long as it is in relation to the Pivotal Point!


So honored to be featured by my favorite sustainable packaging company 🧡

There needs to be more conversation around the true sustainability of faux/vegan leathers/furs etc. It’s all made of plastic & harmful chemicals, so how sustainable is it really? #sustainablefashion


Remember this holiday shopping season that WE can make a difference in the industry through the power of our purchases.


If everyone who planned to make a Black Friday purchase chose to make a purchase from a small business instead (or in addition to) it would make such a difference in the economic landscape for small business owners.


I’m finally getting to the point in my business where I prefer the work week over the weekend 🙌🏼


Hoping that the rise in #sustainablefashion and #ethicalfashion will help us find balance for a better future as an industry and as consumers

Don’t have faith in your plan, have faith in the ability to adapt to whatever unfolds.

We’re brought up in a society where we seek approval for everything - coaches, teachers, parents, bosses - as an entrepreneur or business owner you have to unlearn that behavior in order to make your own decisions and find success. That’s been the hardest transition for me.
