Sew - Fitting - Sew - Sleep - Repeat… and a treat at the beach 🏖️
The last couple weeks have been jam packed! Sharing in chronological order here in a series I’m calling “This Week”. typically I’m juggling about 10 different projects all at once and it gets a little confusing trying to share it all. Also, I have constraints on how much I can share in real time because lots of people don’t want it revealed prior to their wedding. 💒

I have 3 Robes I’m making from a vintage Mom’s wedding dress for her three daughters.

So I’m going to make a robe for myself 🤗✂️🪡👘

The champagne robe is still a work in progress… She’s on pause for a minute whilst I get back to all my custom designs!! 😮‍💨🤪🤗🪡✂️👗
I LOVE IT THO 🥰

They need a little arranging but boy are they robust roses 🌹 😮‍💨😝 taken in San Diego, California by @katkrafel

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been to a wedding where the bride didn’t get her #weddingdress altered 😬🙋🏽‍♀️
It’s the finishing details that make the dress YOURS!

Catch a glimpse of the #bridalalterations process plus creating custom detachable drape sleeves for @reececamryn

252 Days ago I made a New Year’s resolution to STOP SHOPPING!

Have I succeeded… not 100% (I’ve had a couple Amazon slips, an outlet haul and I let myself buy a few things in Europe) and even still my mindset has changed!
I’ve realized how little I appreciated the clothes I do have because I was stuck on a hamster wheel seeking BETTER & MORE. I also wasn’t creating like I am now. Instant gratification at the mall just can’t compete with slow fashion.
I’ll just be over here cranking out 1 new item/ month 😂😮‍💨🪡🧵
