A graphic designer by trade, I love sewing, art, knitting and other domestic pursuits! I love creating custom clothing for and collaborating with awesome people, reworking beautiful vintage clothing and collecting old sewing patterns. This is a journal of what I've been up to lately... mostly sewing a bit of craft, graphic design, vintage finds and beautiful inspiration thrown in too... enjoy!
