I am getting ready. I am finally in a place where this seems doable and exciting. I've been honing my sewing skills recently and I've discovered that sewing feels natural and right to me- like an extension of myself. This is the only thing other than writing that has ever felt like that.
I used to make jewelry. I was obsessed and I amassed a TON of materials. I started a business in Miami and did shows and made jewelry for several bridal parties. It was fun and I loved the colors but I had a hard time coming up with anything original and I felt frustrated by that. My skills were good but not great and eventually I fell out of love with the craft.
Sewing is in my blood. My mom and her mom are amazing seamstresses...quilting, halloween costumes, wedding dress making kind of great at sewing. I'd love to be that great some day. The great part right now is that I'm actually enjoying the process of getting better...usually I want to be instantly great at something or I give it up. This is a good place to be.
Here are a couple recent projects taht will give a little sneak peak into what's upcoming in my soon to be opened etsy shop:
Piano Skirt made for sweet Sohpie's third birthday:
Cowoboy skirt made for spunky Emily's fourth birthday:

Love that this is coming naturally from you...an organic expression of your art.
LOVE Sophie's skirt... the simple style is so versatile, and it's so neat how you can customize the fabric to make it super cute. I would definitely buy more!
