Greatest sewing achievement:
“Designing and sewing my leather jacket in 2011. It was crazy walking into Oregon Leather and purchasing an entire cow hide. But I learned a ton and it still fits me like a glove!”
Favorite part of Alterations:
“It’s a puzzle! Every garment is sewn completely different. I love figuring out the manufacturer’s construction and perfectly recreating the original. Unless the original is done stupid. Then I find a better alternative.”
Fun Fact:
“About 99% of my clothing comes from thrift stores or second hand stores (pretty much everything except for undergarments). Not only do I love to seek out unusual treasures but I also love to reuse and repurpose things I find.”
The experience that first got you into sewing:
“My mom taught me to sew at the age of 11 or 12, and my first project was making bathrobes for mine and my sister’s American Girl Dolls. I was hooked.”
