Studs

Monday, March 11, 2013

I'm thinking about starting a class that teaches people how to apply studs. After buying these Steven sneakers I'm addicted to all things studded and shiny. How about you?

Surfs up!

You'll never guess what we are up to next?

Clue: Surf

Any guesses?

Going to the chapel...

While visiting Texas I've watched more western movies in three weeks than ever and decided that I'd embark on a new journey regarding my business. It's nothing too different from what I do daily (sewing + teaching) but it does demand a bit more of me creatively, which I love. {If I can't be positively challenged by this passion of mine then its a bust ;) }

Without further ado or too much jargon, I introduce to you my first half design for my collection, Monica & Michelle.

Monica & Michelle will be my premier wedding and special occasion line made with love and heart from Brooklyn. A portion of profits will benefit various non profits that cater to women and children. And all dresses will be made with the hope that the wearer will share her story with our network, weather it be a sentence to a novel.

I think it's high time we start calling out each other's successes and taking note of our untold stories.

PS. The collection is named after my sister and I.

DIY - Window Accents

Sunday, December 9, 2012


The first order of business in my new apartment was to decorate. That being said, I was quite anxious to hang a few stained glass windows I found at Queen's Build It Green within the window frames of our entry hallway. All it took were a few eye hooks, metal wire and wall anchors---And the best part is that this DIY project didn't break my bank. Who's with me on that last statement?

Pattern Making 101 - The Base

Friday, November 9, 2012

Someone asked me what I use as a pattern base.

Answer: I use craft paper from the dollar store to construct my pattern base(s).

It's relatively durable and long lasting. Plus, it's easy to find. Nothing annoys me more than having to wait for sewing supplies, especially if it stalls my process of design or cutting *
