Sooo around the turn of the New Year when 2022 became 2023, I wanted more out of sewing. I guess you could say I felt a bit complacent. I was happy, but growth is good. I don't view complacency as a bad thing since it fuels growth. Cue the google searches! And one of the…
Soo about ten years ago, I found this photo on the pinterest (I would give it credit to the creator if I knew who they were, but alas, it just sends me to an endless page on flickr). And so I created this bishop below as some bespoke work that was sent off to a…
That's right! You can line a bishop! So there's a couple of methods for doing this, and I've shown a fully-lined version for this winter bishop. But what if you don't want a fully lined version? It's summer time or just not the vibe that you're going for? Well, then just do a little collar!…
We finally did it!! Okay, lemme explain. About two years ago, we bought an old charter bus with the dream of turning it into our family rv. It's been an on-going project in the background, we'll do one day a week here or there, if all the stars aline 😅🤞And we've taken a handful of…
The cool, crisp air of fall is starting to roll in here in the smoky mountains 🥳 So what are some easy ways you can dive into fall sewing? Well, I'd recommend floche braids in all the jewel tones. You can smock with them as well as do a variety of different embroidery styles. I…
I've been using this treasurer for over 10 years now and I've personally removed dry erase marker, grass, dirt, blood, ink, pencil, and flower goo (I think the technical name would be pollen). It's amazing. I was just remind of this product since I used it on Everly's 2nd birthday dress. See that orange spot…
So last weekend I was in NYC and did about ten or so hours of smocking while I was traveling. It was so easy and enjoyable! Here's how you can get more done while living life, too! I've been sewing while out and about for years and what has my system boiled down to? Whether…
Sooo last weekend, I went to nyc and stayed right across from Central Park without breaking the bank!! Details on my room later on... But this was a quick, in and out trip. I left Asheville around 8:30 am, and my plane landed in NJ about 10 am on Saturday. And on the flip side,…
Four years ago, I decided to take on this project where I put shadow embroidery all over a dress. Why? Good question! At the time, Audrey was about 2.5 years old and Henry was around 4 months or so. I had dabbled in some shadow embroidery and really loved the process as well as the…
I'm taking you behind the scenes on capturing some 135 hours of hand embroidery as well as our photoshoot with sweet daisy. Editing this dress, it was quite the process! So how did I gather the footage for the hand embroidery part? I setup a gopro on time lapse mode (and tried to keep it…
