I wanted to get one last wear in of my wool skirt before it would be deemed ridiculous to be wearing wool. Though with the way this winter played out, most of the time it was ridiculous to be wearing wool. Oh well. I paired the skirt with one of my favorite shirts that I… Continue reading Pattern Mixing and Wool for Spring
I have a small obsession with covered buttons. They add such a tailored, finished feel to any project. I think most people think of them relating to clothing, I’m included in that, but they also look great on drapes and roman shades and pillows. They would pretty much look great on anything. Adding dressmaking details to… Continue reading Put a Button on it
I stated in my goals for 2016 that I was making my sister’s wedding dress, my bridesmaid dress, and my mom’s mother of the bride dress. This is ALL I am working on right now. Not really. I am doing my regular work and doing these other things along side that. I’m not stressed. Or… Continue reading A Progress Report
My new obsession as of late is layering dresses over a white button up. It began with my houndstooth dress. The day I premiered the dress it was a bit of a cold and dreary day. I have a tendency to be cold natured and didn’t want to spend my day shivering. Typically people would… Continue reading Layered Up
I want to introduce to you one of my favorite projects that I have worked on recently (or ever). These are a pair of cafe curtains I recently made for someone. After I finished them I wanted to make lace overlay everything: dresses, more panels, roman shades, dresses. That’s a good project, something that leaves… Continue reading Lace Overlay

I have loved this navy and tan houndstooth fabric from the… Continue reading Houndstooth Dress (Original Design)
Before delving into this post, I want to start by giving respect to the bloggers that make their photoshoots look good. You know the ones. They look stunning and confident walking down a street with sunglasses and purse in toe, onlookers don’t even phase them. Teach a class on how you do this. I would… Continue reading Erin Li-Sik and the Blustery Photoshoot
I have had this post planned for about 4 months… oops. Better late than never, right? This dress is one of my favorites. I designed and made it a few years ago, and it is still a piece that I love because of its comfort and ease of wearing. It’s bra friendly, yay! Long enough… Continue reading Original Dress Design
Our wedding was not at all traditional. And in honoring that, today’s pictures include the untraditional after ceremony activities of David and my’s family meeting for the first time, more awkward girl pictures, and some posed pictures of us with our wonderful guests. Let’s get started! Immediately following our vows, David and I both went… Continue reading Wedding Pictures, Take 2
