When I’m working on a project in my studio, I tend to alternate between playing music, listening to an audiobook, or listening and sorta watching videos from YouTube sewists. One of my favorites to follow is Whitney of @TomKatStitchery. From her, I learned the value of choosing a personal color palette and letting it drive …
planned to use this pattern to make my dress for Michael & Micaela's wedding, but wasn't willing to cut into that expensive organza until I knew I had the fitting right. So this was the project where I learned what a muslin is.
Nothing I’ve ever bought in a store gave me the sense of satisfaction and the feeling of joy I get when I pull on something I sewed for myself – something I created with my own two hands, that I designed to fit my curves properly.
