EDIT: the last liner has been claimed! 🥰 Hello, meet my new obsession. I have one more of these vintage USAF liners size Medium. You want one too? Let me know. Hop into the DMs to claim. How would you feel about orange thread? If I can find my spool, I think that would rule. I was going to put it on the www, but I am still toiling away making a new site and I’m just not gonna. Yet? Eyeballs peeled here because I have some other things up my sleeve 👀
Show up and see what happens.
One year of building this piece. Ever so slowly, one stitch at a time. With my own two hands and, most importantly, yours too. In exactly ONE WEEK, let’s stitch together again! I’m on one side, you’re on the other. We pass the yarn back and forth. Slow process, real connection. This all started at Harvest Fest last year. To build connection and to get lost in the rhythm of stitches. Throughout, this piece is teaching me something. About the work, and about myself. So. COME FIND ME September 27th at @nocoprescott Harvest Fest. Same place it all began!
A bit from yesterday’s chainstitching setup at @fairweathersocialclub for @prescotteventalliance ! It was a joy to stitch outside in one of my favorite places to be in Prescott. Thank you to all who stopped by my machine and allowed me to stitch for you before the 🌧️. It was so meaningful to me to share with you! 🪡🩷 So cool to meet the most talented @onehundredchairs @roguerueflora @mamabearstudiosaz @abundantphotoboothco @rwbaz . @kyleensara and @tiaraleitzman you two are the bestest. Thank you for 📸 and help!
Is it a sandwich or shirt? Either way, I’m packing up your orders! There are still some tie tops (and one ruffle hem!) left from my summer restock - get in on this and grab a happy little treat for yourself or someone else! Remember, you can pick up your order at @palominolifestyleco , choose shipping, OR let me deliver to you. Just lots of ways to secure your new summer uniform, and support a tiny slow fashion biz while you’re at it.
It’s Thursday, I think. And you know that means it’s time to buy a new shirt made from vintage fabric in my little workshop! Enjoy some awkward videos of me trying on the tie tops that are now live on the interweb! And when you’re done, I just KNOW you’re gonna want to click that link in bio and grab one of your own. Also, I heard that if you use code HAPPYMAKING15 at checkout, you can help me celebrate some big leaps I’m taking. That code only works for a few more days so maybe hop over now? Thanks for being here, always. Stay tuned, because there are more awkward vids with more awkward Adies to come. #supporthandmade #smallbatch #shoprestock #imakemyownclothes #vintagefabric
🎉Tie tops are here! Live on my website NOW! Hop over to grab your favorite-only these few are available. Made from vintage fabric, designed and made with heart in my lil studio. Fits standard sizes XS-M/L, elastic at the top and at the waist, adjustable ties at the shoulders! I had an easy 70s or 80s roller skating tube top in mind with this one, with added length and straps for added wearability. Each top is print-mixed and ready to be your new summer uniform! It’s HOT out there. These cuties can help. Measurements, size chart, and more details are on the site. Click that link in bio! Also, I may or may not have added another little surprise to the site too. 👀🧵 #Slowfashion #sewistsofinstagram #smallbatch #sustainblefashion #imakemyownclothes
I’m working on something cool. Involving vintage/preloved/fabric, something to put on your bod cause it’s hot out there…these kinds of things. 😎 Dropping soonish, I think. At any rate, eyeballs peeled because I am excited.
Lately. Soaking it all in. ✨

Did you miss Friday’s live custom chainstitching @palominolifestyleco ? That’s alright! I left part of my setup in store so you can place a custom order there! Not really sure when I’ll be taking it home, 🤷🏻‍♀️so act fast if you want something stitched by yours truly! There are also a few items I already stitched for ya if you just.cannot.wait. By the way, highly recommend popping up at a cutie store like Palomino when you probably should have packed a non-stinky change of clothes? Thank you for Friday, Andrea and Heather, Susie, and everyone who was able to stop by! It was meaningful and special and I had a blast with you 🩷🪡
