ORANGE GINGHAM

Hey friends! This was our Thanksgiving 2021 look! My oldest son was the photographer so he’s not in this photo with his siblings. I think two out of three is a good compromise! Right now my little two are receiving all my custom sewing time. They’re also more excited by my makes, but all the…

MARC JACOBS PRINT SET

The most wonderful thing about making your own clothes is wearing them again, years later, and having the same level of excitement! It’s not the same feeling with purchased clothing!

SILK IVORY LAYERING TOP
