A Real-Life Fairy God-Mother
Once upon a time, in a cozy house, on a quiet street, in a village on the edge of a booming metropolis, a young seamstress discovered she could perform magic. It was a transformative sort of magic that could make every bride look and feel amazing…

Designing with a Purpose
As a multi-passionate creator my mind is always racing with ideas. Making things is the best part of life for me. According to my mother I was holding a pencil before a spoon. I can't remember a time when I wasn't doing something creative. Jewelry making was a hobby for some time until women continued to express their desire for my designs. I stepped out into doing this full time after leaving my job as a graphic designer and illustrator. Both of which I still do but for my own business now. It has been a really bumpy ride, however my drive to make it more than my lovely hobby but also my income means I have to keep developing and moving forward. This is where the upcycling of materials has come into play and has become a huge aspect of what and how I create. Upcycling has been a financial necessity and of course helps the environment as a big bonus. But now that I'm on this track and have really understood this process it will remain one of the hallmarks of my brand. All of my jewelry is hand cut with scissors. Aside from metals of course, which is why I utilize allot of leather and textiles that are easier to shape with scissors. In addition to jewelry I create my own illustrated textiles that I cut and sew. As well as other garments and accessories. Winning this competition would be a tremendous break for me in getting my business to the next level.

My mom inspired it all
At the tender age of 12 years old I started to realize that my relationship with fashion was not the same as my peers. How I wanted to present myself in the world wasn't found on the racks in a store. Mom always said classic never goes out of style, and wanted very much for me to follow her guidance, but those clothes didn't speak to be either. In the mid 80's I wasn't in love with neon, of course neither was mom. Therefore my mom, who had won multiple state awards in 4H for sewing and owned a custom drapery workroom, taught me to sew.

Scissors
Scissors I’ve been sewing since I was 16. My first sewing machine was a Singer Treadle machine. I still own it today and have moved around different houses for 40 years. I didn’t get an electric machine till I left home at 18. And I’ve had many of them, worn out and thrown out from hundreds of hours of sewing on each machine.

Twinning Pajamas – A Token of Appreciation for Women
Affection and simplicity are the two key subjects of love and emotions. Simplicity plays a major role as gifting someone a simple and elegant present shows the true nature of their bond. It is just like a superficial application of genuine gratitude. It is a justification of the true being of non-verbal love and concern. Showing your family the importance of their existence is a blessing and a good deed to cherish. The cultivated habit of appreciation shows and grooms your personality that marks the territory of standard and embodiment.

Dressed to Impress
My passion for fashion burns inside of me. Although I’m weak in the areas of owning my own style I have quite the few ideas of things I’d love to wear, have others envy enough to follow my original yet not completely original trends, and maybe even design someday. As a child I had wanted to be a fashion designer due to the show ‘That’s so Raven’ due to Raven Symone’s character’s alter attitude of wanting to be a clothing designer and that brought me to my own conclusion of wanting to do the same. Things have certainly changed over time and I’d rather much be a world peace or human rights advocate I still sit here today wanting to impress not just the guy who my heart is set on to looking good for him but for myself to stare in the mirror and feel hot.

Snapping at Threads in Time
I believe each of us expresses our soul through our art. Human beings are meant to create and to admire beauty in this world. It is what brightens the mundane. I want to admire the clothing I wish to see. I feel at my very best when I wear it, not minding the gripes of "this is too costumey" from other people. Life is too short to worry about things like that. I visualize the dress in my mind, and see the colors flowing through the fabric, making its texture come alive. I feel the crushing of velvet fibers under my fabric scissors as I push the blades together. My blades glide like a swan through rich shot silk, and sever ribbons of many colors I hope to use for lacing. With every snip of my embroidery scissors snapping threads, I come this much closer to completing my dress. My left hand cramps at the extensive hours spent cutting up pattern paper and fabric, but such is the life of a thrifting seamstress. I feel most lost in my sewing endeavors when I am unable to find my scissors. They are an extension of my body, a valuable tool. If they go missing, my whole creative aura dampens. Thankfully, it rarely happens. My scissors are kept safe and lovingly wrapped in my cotton sewing belt, ready to be utilized at a moment's notice.

Bohe-ME-an?
Last week, I wrote an article for a recent Vocal challenge (Sweet Nostalgia), about my love of the 1980s. I commented on a couple hair trends and a fashion trend I'd love to see be brought back (if they haven't already), and how I wish I had the confidence to pull off these looks.
