This past summer I wanted to sew versatile pieces that are full of fun and color. I decided to start with two items I don’t yet own in my closet. The first is an Oversized Blouse and the second is a pair of Draped Palazzo Pants. We often have way more clothes than we need…
Next to blazers, blouses are my absolute favorite to wear. I enjoy making them the most. I especially love draping sleeves. I’m all about fit and balance when getting dressed. When I’m headed to my studio, I’m usually dressed like this. An oversized blouse, that is balanced with a fitted waist. In this case, I…
This Heavyweight NATURAL linen I was excited about. It was my first time working with this texture of linen and I decided to make a blouse. It’s 7.1 ounces in weight, but has a beautiful drape to it. To add some interest, I draped two flowers and hand sewed them to the shoulders. There’s something…

The AMI Pattern is my literal favorite right now. I have a mini capsule collection in my closet now thanks to this pattern. The shorts are my second make. I was so intimidated with assembling the pants, now that I have a better idea of the steps, it made sewing the shorts more enjoyable and…
Making my first pair of trousers was very intimidating. I’ve made pants before but always with a clean waistband and side zipper. I wanted to challenge myself to make a more tailored pant. When I saw AMI Pattern I wanted both the pants and shorts. I especially love the gathered detail at the waistband, it…
Continuing with our styling series, next I designed this vibrant, convertible dress with the intent to play with it all spring and summer. I appreciate pieces that go the extra mile and this dress is such a bold statement that can be played up or down. I see this at everything from weddings to graduations…
Continuing with our styling series, next up is a pair of stunning draped trousers with a little cute top as I had some extra fabric left. What I love about a good pair of trousers is how versatile they can look for a plethora of occasions. I especially love them in an unexpected shade. With…
