Anticipate Your Wardrobe Needs To Give Up Fast Fashion
I want to take a moment to reflect on my three months without fast fashion and my new relationship with my wardrobe.

Sewing Project: Bias Cut Top – My First Attempt At Pattern Matching
My last project before I went away was a bias cut chevron top. This garment falls into the category of a simple yet deceptively difficult make. Now of course there aren’t many difficult techniques of garment construction involved, what makes this difficult is a) pattern matching and b) working on the bias.
