Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Netty and I’m a user experience designer based out of Seattle, WA. Despite its reputation for never-ending rain, I grew to love this city and the life I share with my friends, family, and my beloved cat, Beckett. The combination of working…
Billowy linen shirts are my favourite things to wear in the warmer months, I love how they seemingly float over my body without clinging to it, and I love how they look tucked into a pair of high waisted trousers or shorts. I fell in love with the sleeveless version of the CHARLIE blouse the…
As we are in the dawn of spring, March the 20th brings more than longer days and extended evenings. In Chinese Medicine, Spring is the season of the Wood Element. The organs that are associated with the Wood element are the Liver and the Gallbladder. The colour connected is green and the odour is rancid….
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…
It is winter in Vermont as I write this. Skies are grey with occasional bursts of sunshine, and the ground is still frozen and will be for some time. It is a time for reflection, and for dreaming of warmer days ahead. I was looking for a pattern that would help me feel cared for…
I’m looking forward to share fun ways in which I incorporate new pieces into my closet. My background in design and styling has allowed me to see and play around with limitless ways when it comes to dressing up. When I create a piece, simultaneously I am always thinking about garments I already own and…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Abby and I live in Vermont with my husband and our three spirited kids. I was an actor in NYC during my twenties, and still miss the energy of the city, though I have come to love and deeply appreciate the beauty…

As we begin to slowly and gently emerge from our winter cocoon, there are a few things to consider when it comes to our health and mental wellbeing. In Chinese Medicine, the Winter season is the most Yin of all the seasons. It is governed by the Element of Water, which embodies deep stillness and…

Aline Willemin, producer of the 1560s-set independent film Albert and Claude, knew the production would have to be smart with money. But she also knew it needed absolutely authentic clothes. She found them thanks to fabrics-store.com, a Los Angeles-based company as passionate about fabric as Willemin is about film. Albert and Claude is a psychological…
To be completely honest – most of the time I buy fabric without knowing what to make with it. Highly excited, a bit overwhelmed yet with no plan in sight. This leads to either: – too little fabric -too much fabric Let’s not talk about too little – this always hurts my heart. But too…
