look at this gorgeous quilted jacket!

I loved making this jacket! It was a great way to showcase some English paper piecing, as well as using leftovers from other projects.

this is such a great costume idea!

Here's my contribution for Mermay. I can't walk much and use a wheelchair, so my handmade mermaid costume is pretty appropriate for me. I like to hand out seashells and pearls to children at renaissance faire and Comic Con.

A woman sitting in a wheelchair. She has long blonde hair and is wearing a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ costume. Her tail is made of white iridescent fabric and iridescent sequins. She is wearing a seashell bra trimmed with more iridescent fabric. There is a small starfish in her long blonde hair. Her ears have sparkly fins. Her wheelchair is decorated with faux seaweed, a fishnet, and pearls. She sits outside in a big city environment. The badges on the people in the background and the signage indicates that this is san diego comic con.

Need something to keep you humble? Learn how to sew. Oh you've been sewing for 20 years? It doesn't matter, you will still somehow accidentally sew the crotch of some shorts to the collar of a shirt and spend 3 hours with a seam ripper while inventing new curse words

This is what happens when you design quilts and kits that really need to be seen in entirety but you have a small space in a Designer Pavilion.
Well… I’m shrinking my Studio and quilts and bringing it ALL with me to H+H Americas. I can’t wait to share my MINI booth (in 1:12 scale) Will you be there?

What a gorgeous dress!

According to @swholocron.bsky.social, "Leida Mothma’s wedding dress took costume designer Michael Wilkinson and his team six months to construct. It includes dozens of pattern pieces sewn together, with hand-beading and hand-finishing." Extraordinary level of detail! #Andor
A publicity still from Star Wars Andor, showing the wedding dress of Leida Mothma. It is a beautiful pearlescent white silk dress with thousands of beads in geometric, diagonal lines. Beautiful.
