My husband was a bridesman in his friend’s wedding so I made him a suit to match the wedding colors!

Going back to the office and needed to upgrade my wardrobe to “professional”.

  • This is a lovely dress! I dislike plaid, but you’ve made it look very appealing. I especially like that you made a dress from it, instead of a boring old suit jacket. It’s fresh and clever. I am super impressed by your eye for design. (And quite a bit jealous, too, TBH!) © wolferiver / Reddit

Turned a thrifted quilt into a jacket and pants.

  • This looks comfy and distinguished at the same time, love it! I really like the look of the deep pockets on the front. Might have to try that on some pants, too. © ZoeNowhere / Reddit

Made a dress for the “Gilded Glamour” Met Gala Theme

I made denim pants!!!

I made a replica of the famous strawberry dress by Lirika Matoshi. Very late to the party 😂

I have sewn a replica of a corset from Anna Karenina (2012)

I made a Stained Glass Gown

  • I audibly gasped at the beauty of your dress. The way the sun catches the panels & looks like it’s illuminating them from inside is incredible! Such talent & creativity. © rikinaynay / Reddit

I made my wedding dress!! The vision was ’elegant clown’.
