I'm all about the details

I think the term 'handmade' comes with a lot of negative connotations....loose threads, uneven stitches, bad overall quality. I have never been a fan of poorly made clothes, even if they are home-made, and of the 'thought that counts' variety. Since the dawn of my sewing career, mid-highschool, I have been detail oriented and driven to perfection. 

Currently, I am mastering hoodies. The latest crop is amazing. I can't wait to see how my future items turn out. Using little tricks like binding the hood/neck with ribbing, lining the zipper & hood, serging everything and even adding a tag is what makes my hoodies fabulous. 

The final product is nothing short of what I would want for myself. Enjoy the close ups!

new hoodies for fall 2009

mmmmmmm.......hoodies!

I'm so ready for fall. Ready for comfy sweatshirts, big pockets, cool air, geese migration....oh but i'm not giving up my sandals just yet. Fall is perfect for transitioning into more layers....you don't have to give up your favorite tank or mini skirt, or your beloved sandals. Just put on

 another layer and you're good to go. 

Designing for this fall has been really easy for me. Basically I just sat there and wrote down all the things I wanted in my wardrobe. The hoodies are gonna start things off....followed by some more sweatshirts, tees, and dresses. Stay tuned!
