Look Where I Showed Up!

on



In 'Just Dance' magazine (Oct-Nov issue)!

I made the bra and the belt in the outfit on the right (and that's Sherlyn, my client!) Actually, I beaded a ready-made bra of hers and made the belt from interfacing and cotton fabric. And THEN I beaded it. I don't know who made the actual skirt but it's a perfect match, don't you think?



This was the very last thing I made before I gave birth. So, of course, I have fond memories of it :)

I never saw the whole ensemble until this publication, so it is a right treat!
I started sewing at 9 years old. Yes, I was that child who cut old table cloths to make floral printed dresses for her stuffed animals. Two decades later, I quit a steady career in teaching to start my own business in the apparel industry. It's been a couple more decades and I can't seem to stop (yes, I have tried). So with a sense of joyous resignation, I continue to create custom clothing and patterns, and find time to teach drafting and sewing at my studio and online.
