The Quintessential 50s Sundress
This 50s-inspired dress was one of the first pieces that I made when I started sewing. I learned so many fundamental sewing skills while completing this project, such as how to read sewing patterns, how to make alterations to patterns, techniques for proper garment construction, and how to finish the raw seams, just to name a few. Made with cotton, zipper, and ribbon, this is a dress that will remain in my wardrobe for many years to come.
A Twirl Through Commercial Sewing Patterns
This dress was truly the beginning of my passion for sewing, as well as the start of my pattern collection. While I design just as many patterns from scratch, there is something truly special in getting to explore a wide variety of designed patterns and I have since been enthusiastically collecting a wide variety of any vintage or vintage inspired patterns I can find.
Each new pattern I discover feels like an invitation to learn—whether it’s a clever construction detail, a silhouette from another era, or a technique I haven’t tried before. Working with these designs has shaped the way I approach my own patternmaking, blending historical inspiration with my personal style. Every project becomes a small conversation between past and present, and that dialogue is a big part of what keeps me excited to keep creating.
