Building something meaningful isn’t about chasing every passing trend or designing for an algorithm. It’s about longevity, purpose, and staying true to your vision.

When you focus on quality over fast turnarounds, step away from the digital noise, and embrace every part of the process, the work speaks for itself.

Don't be afraid to take a distinct stance and create something built to last. Which of these slides resonates most with where you are right now?

Day 2 at @vanfashionweek SS27 was again filled with more connecting , lots of photo snapping, a few hugs, and lots of conversation. The excitement was high as the diverse set of 6 designers took to.the runway to show their new collections - in order of appearance @jademcbridedesigns, @somaya_fashionstudio, @loosecannonfeb @delaynedixon,@reggieharrold, and @house_of_pretty_ . Well done to every designer. The final 2 images in this reel are from day 1. They came to me after I had already put up yesterday's reel, but were to good not too share.

Special thanks to @jandrewspeaks @ctsoukalas and @sushininja for allowing me to use a few of their photos.

pattern project, silhouettes and enclosures

for a pattern project replica from school (trial piece for the program) 🪡🌎 here’s one of them!

I made it from a size 8 blouse draft pattern to adjusting the plackets. I got inspired by a button dress shirt I saw weeks ago and decided to do something similar but more personal

Tonight is Frocktails. 💗 FINALLY!

We are so excited that the day is finally here, and we cannot wait to celebrate with everyone joining us tonight.

They are part of the raffle draws happening throughout the night.

There is so much generosity behind this event, and it means a lot to us to have so many businesses from across the sewing community choose to be part of it.

We put together a full blog post introducing all of our Frocktails 2026 sponsors and sharing what each of them contributed.

If you are coming tonight, go have a look so you can see what is waiting for you in the goodie bags, what will be on the prize table, and all the different raffle prizes you will have a chance to win.

And whether you are joining us tonight or following along from somewhere else, please take a moment to visit these businesses, follow them, share their work and support them when you can.

5 things every designer needs to hear before launching a line.

We pulled the most powerful lessons from the Product Development episode of Launch Your Line into one carousel. Swipe through: how brands really get known, why price is positioning not cost, why cheaper doesn't sell more, getting known for one hero item, and building your line on paper before you spend a dollar.

Which one hits hardest? Tell us in the comments.

Full episode out now. Follow Making the Cut and learn how to launch your line.

A proud milestone in my interior design journey. ✨

It was such a pleasure taking part in @thecutdesignacademy Open House in Vancouver, where Interior Design students came together to showcase a collection of residential and retail projects developed throughout our studies.

I was proud to have my own work featured as part of the exhibition and to share the experience alongside such a creative group of designers.

A wonderful evening filled with design, creativity, inspiring conversations, and new connections.

Grateful to our instructors, classmates, and everyone who stopped by to experience the work. 🤍

Excited for what’s ahead.
