This pebble crepe easy wear blouse or shall we call it #abovethewaist is washable and those pebbles come right back in the dryer, not to mention how well it looks on Zoom.

We had to buy a new dryer this week, ours broke. Can’t wait to experiment with all the bells and whistles.

Basic for me as a designer is a white textural shirt and a denim jacket. The simplest way of dressing in this moment. “Fashion is an interpretation of the moment. That's a big challenge.” Benjamin Simmenauer

Here is the right side of the newly designed vest.

Here is the right side of the newly designed vest. The fabric is kantha which is hand stitched. The cut of this piece is forgiving and would certainly add some color to your closet. A statement piece that is a lot of fun to wear. This is my version of a ‘vest’😍 and it’s reversible, including the pockets.

A great look for patio social distancing small get togethers. It’s Memorial Day weekend!

From yesterday’s post I wanted to show you up close and personal when I suggested the inside is as important as the outside. This snapshot is of the fashion fabric and to the left of it is the piece I found to bind the edges of the inside. They were meant to go together. Amazing don’t you think? And I wasn’t even looking for it. I was shopping @elfriedes_fabrics for a custom client’s project this winter, a wool coat with the thoughts of spring fabrics in my mind.

Keeping your eyes open always results in finding solutions. To bring 'fresh eyes' to a problem is to look at it from a previously unconsidered point of view.

My accountant also calls it “fresh eyes” when we walk away from something and come back to it. A whole new world opens up. Thank goodness for new ideas during this time of reflection and combing courage to not be fearful!

My Timeless designs include an aesthetic quality and a high standard of fabrication and construction. This oversized newly designed Brooks LTD vest is easy to wear, comfortable and a great addition to an already full closet. With lots of discussion this piece has been constructed to be reversible, pockets and all. I found the perfect trim to bind the edges and to coordinate with the fashion fabric @elfriedes_fabrics in Boulder. Right in my backyard. Elfriedes, for those who don’t know has a wonderful selection of the same high standard of fabrics that I use. Check her store out when in Boulder. I started out my professional career in Boulder sewing shirts for a progressive boutique in the early 1980’s. I love to take time to go to Boulder to pause and reflect upon that time it reminds me how far I’ve come from early on in my career.

I appreciate you appreciating what we do….making clothes, one at a time that are created in a clean, calm environment, my atelier.

Your closet will thank you when it arrives.

I’ll continue to do my best to stay engaged and keep inspiring.

A portrait of me by the talented @rebeccamosesofficial . I am grateful to be a part of the #stayhomegirls. Rebecca has hand illustrated over 200 women from 5 continents with their stay at home stories. Stories are all about how everyone has adapted to the Pandemic, what has become important in time of crisis. Each woman’s story is moving and the illustrations that go with it are playful and energizing. Rebecca gives us a sense of security, support and light during a dark time. Art brings us joy and Rebecca has a wonderful vision that is making many women smile across the continents. I met Rebecca through @stylecrone. Thank you for including me in this group of incredible, supportive and empowering women. I am blessed.

As i keep reading articles about my industry(and a

As i keep reading articles about my industry(and all other industries also) the word ‘pivot’ is everywhere. ‘Pivot: (CHANGE OPINIONS) to change your opinions, statements, decisions, etc. so that they are different to what they were before’ For those of you in the business already know what it means to pivot and how everyone is doing it. In order to stay afloat we must be willing to change and adapt to the times. For my clients, I have pivoted into making masks for those of you who have requested them. The process has taught me a lot about who I am and why I do what I do. I love working with my hands handling beautiful textiles. I take on responsibility to complete a task in a timely manner. This process reminds me of when I started my journey making men’s shirts. In the late 1980’s our team of sewers would stitch in the back room of a small retail store and race to see who would finish first. Of course the quality was the most important aspect. That was the last time I did a production run. Now I’m back at it doing a small run of masks. I realize this is a challenging time and masks will not be my go to for ever. I am grateful that a few custom inquires have also come in for women looking for a special occasion ensemble for early next year.
Yes, things will open up.
Until then I will keep an open mind and do what’s necessary to stay afloat. I hope it works!

Thanks for following me on this journey. I will continue to keep you engaged and inspired. “Our gestures will change, so clothing will adapt.” Rabih Kayrouz

This is where the magic begins, the cutting, drapi

This is where the magic begins, the cutting, draping and sewing area. It’s cleaned up right now, usually it’s messy and not picture worthy.
I take an idea, usually fabric inspires me and drape it until it please me. A pattern is drafted and a sample is made. Sometimes the sample doesn’t make it to the rack, but when it does all
I want to do is make a few more. Our process hasn’t changed much over the years as I believe in one of a kind garments are what my clients want. As of late I’m doing easy wear pieces that are an addition to your closet. Something you will cherish for years.
I am grateful that many of you have reached out and told me stories of the garments I’ve made for you and how they’ve served you. I’d love to hear more . It makes my heart 🎶. Someday I should have an archival display. Who’s in?

Ready to go out to only the essential appointments

Ready to go out to only the essential appointments. I love wearing a multifunctional kimono that works as a jacket in cooler weather and as a fancy covering when hanging out at home. The relaxed version pant is also good for couch wear and adding socks just makes it that much more comfortable.
