I read this book for my neighborhood monthly book club. I cried when I finished the last page.

Just wow. Powerful story.

Going on 6 months since I decided to get a hysterectomy. I know that doesn't fully cure endometriosis, but it has significantly improved my quality of life.

If anyone wants to talk about endo or has questions, AMA!

People give me thier old stuff related to sewing. Over the years I found myself with a big collection of sewing history. This is my latest piece. It has an original manual from 1908 😱

You know what sucks about big corporations?
They go in small cities, shut down/buyout small specialty businesses and then file for bankruptcy 20 years later. Leaving us with nothing.
Today I bought one of each of all the colors of thread they had left.

Here in Charleston, bridal season is all year - which is a perfect environment for a seamstress. This is my 3rd wedding dress rescue.
Custom corset backing made by me. I also took 12 inches off the bottom hem 😱

My first re upholestry project for 2025.
My perfectionism was eating away at me by the end of this project, but it all came together beautifully.

I recreated 3 custom upholstery covers for cushions, for an rv. Compled with double sided piping.

One of my projects this week. A dance costume makeover. Before it was a one piece, now it's a two piece 😄

What was once a sweatshirt, is now a custom jacket with a hood.

I found these ridiculous 90s crafting books at a thrift store in FL. I bought a few 😂
I'll report back on what I make.

Took a break from the world and dipped some strawberries with a friend.

Last night I found this pic of me. Almost 21 year old Shannon traveling the US. What I thought would bring memories of heart break, brought feelings of gratitude. Not to the asshole who dumped me that is next to me, but for exploring and breaking out of my small world view. I'm proud of this girl.

I got to know the wonderful life PawPaw Keith through a t shirt blanket project. The blanket size was 90x90. Front side was his tshirt pannels sewn together back side was a soft teal blanket. Black satin binding was use to stitch it all together. ❤️ #sewing #design #handmade #homemade #black #teal

I skipped fashion design school and decided to just jump in my career. I have already had years of sewing experience. It was hard. My design style is comfort cosplay/costumes. Here is a buttercup dress I made.

In 2023 I helped a client design and bring to life her "adult" Samantha American girl costume. It was seriously the cutest.

Deadpool dress I made from upcycling a deadpool shirt. I have no idea where to put this mannequin, so I dressed her up and put her by the stairs. This dress is available for purchase.

In my early 20s, I was a broke godiva manager. After we closed the store, I would eat all the dipped fruit for dinner before it got thrown out. There was always so much food waste. I will never get tired of dipped strawberries. I also learned how to make beautiful dipped berries.

Designed and made this for one of my babies.
This is a 3t velour top and bottom winter set. Fabric is jucy couture brand. Super soft and yes, it feels like 2004.
