The "Wall" Ugh. This wall is ridiculous for myriad reasons. Boats and airplanes are two of them.

Soooooo close to being finished with shoe dyeing #nutcracker #nutcrackeratx (at Ballet Austin)

T-shirt of the day. Sometimes just one good hug can turn your day around. Hug someone you love today. #wearingmyfeelings

T-shirt of the day. I don't know how long I will continue this. We'll see. I'm trying my best to go high. I'm trying my best to build bridges by having conversations with people and not shutting them out. It's exhausting to be patient and try to find middle ground, but I have witnessed evidence of patience, love and listening working and I'm gonna keep at it. ❤️ #wearingmyfeelings

Today's t-shirt. Love to my friends who were victims of racism and sexual assault. I'm here for you. Let me know how I can help. #wearingmyfeelings

Sewvember Day 8: Dear Past Me One day, you'll grow up to sew your own costumes and make costumes for other people. You and your friends will basically be playing dress up and make believe every day. In other words, nothing will change. You will still get to do all the things you love to do as a 5 year old. It's pretty awesome. #bpsewvember

Sewvember Day 7: Playing Favorites The price tagging gun, or "the tagger",is by far my favorite thing in my backstage tool belt. This has saved so many wardrobe malfunctions during productions when I've only had a hot second to fix something. Better than safety pins. Better than a quick stitch. #bpsewvember (at Ballet Austin)

Sewvember Day 6: Red/Purple I didn't sew any of these, but they are currently drying on the cutting table in the shop. Bon Bon shoe dyeing for Nutcracker is underway! #bpsewvember (at Ballet Austin)

Sewvember Day 5: On the Table A rat head ready for a fitting on Tuesday, a jacket getting a removable expansion panel added to it, rotary cutter, rulers and a stack of binders/paperwork. #bpsewvember (at Ballet Austin)

Sewvember Day 4: Fun All of these weird and wonderful things were once piles of material on a table. Now they are actual things that bring other people joy! Sewing brings me joy and then my product pays it forward. #bpsewvember (at Ballet Austin)

Sewvember Day 3: Up Close Repairs and alterations for Nutcracker. #bpsewvember #balletaustin (at Ballet Austin)

Puppet surgery. Milo rocked too hard @highballaustin on Friday and lost an arm. #fragilerock #seamstressfortheband

Seamstress for the band #fragilerock

Day 2 - Wackiest Pattern Making these "face corsets" for our production of Belle Redux was one of the wackiest pattern making experiences I've had. Measuring the details of the dancers' faces and heads was bizarre, but the results were spectacular. #bpsewvember (at Ballet Austin)

Getting ready to do a news segment about doing DIY costumes on the fly for #weareaustin (at KEYE-TV)
