Lil Luxe Collection - Blog Tour - The Lil Luxe Dress

When Jessica Bustos, the creative mind behind Lil Luxe Collection, invited me to work with the Lil Luxe Dress for feature in her Lil Luxe Dress Blog Tour I could not pass up the chance to get my hands on her gorgeous design!  I'm sure she can relate to me when I say that it's a welcome treat to get back to the basics of this whole designing thing.  Really, what she allowed me to do was to get back to doing what I love to do most, which is sew and for that I am exceedingly grateful!

Hampshire Trouser - Shout out to the testers!

Imagine my surprise when I run a call to testers for the Hampshire Trouser and after three days of collecting applications I open up my responses and find 160+ people have applied!

It's been a long road with this top secret project.  I am so excited to get this out there for you all and with that comes a whole slew of emotions. It's a thrilling mix of excitement, relief, anxiety, apprehension, joy, giddiness.  All that swallowed up by the overwhelming desire to eat as many candy bars as I can manage.

Radio Silence

As a small business owner I've always been extremely conscience of my social media output.  Keeping up with, in my case, the sewing community is a massive part of being a pattern designer.  It's also something I really enjoy but as you can imagine it takes up an insane amount of time.  Time that I don't have to give up.

Pattern Assembly

I've gotten to be a pro at assembling my own patterns over the last three years.  I print and cutout sometime up to 10 pattern drafts before I release a final design.

My Sewing Tools

I could spend hours walking through a sewing supply store.  Isles upon isles of tools, supplies, buttons, do-dads, gadgets, this and that…  So much stuff that only a warehouses could hold the amount of things that have been invented to help seamstresses make and create.
