During maybe our second or third week of dating, Asher was talking about his dream shirt that would be a cactus printed button-up. So that's what I made him for Christmas - and it turned out to be the best thing I've ever sewn. I only started making tailored garments this year (the #kalleshirtdress and #aldershirtdress) and I was pretty intimidated by design elements like sleeve plackets and collars. The #fairfieldbuttonup by @threadtheorydesigns turned out to be a dream to sew up. I'm super proud of the little details on this shirt - flat felled seams, top stitching, pleats, pin tucks, etc. The fabric is an organic poplin from @spoonflower, which is great if you're looking for a custom design. Looking forward to more adventures into #menswear #sewing. ✂️🌵 https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0lRazlnrivMVNIaSi2O6PT-XVDGsPY-hGtjk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19opp6jm5r550

We celebrated our dear friend's wedding last night and danced alllll night long. I wore a dress I made back in April. Also earlier in the day I had deep dish and didn't hate it 🤷 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLakKrFP4H3VJdPSnj_HwKElLlQNATDhXZfIA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vonh8dhn90ng

Earlier this month I stitched up this lil 4 inch ode to espresso and friendship for birthday bxnch @davidleonsmusic ☕🎷 I'd love to do more lil hoops like this! Reminder that the holidays are coming up and I can do custom orders, including birth chart embroideries! Plus tiny hoops make cute Christmas ornaments 😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqF6rQiFtPEW2tQnBVUli90fcmhU55lPL0ST9I0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p8jjjku3zpv2

WOW. Coacello was absolutely incredible. Like I told Maggie and Lewie last night, when I started playing cello I never would have dreamed one day I'd play in a rock band with my best friends, and definitely never could have imagined being part of an entire show featuring amazing cellists making beautiful, unique, and punk af music. @invisiblecandyband , @lungtheband , and @laurawolfmusic all blew me away. So grateful to everyone who came out last night and made this the best Halloween ever and the perfect way to top off what's been a fucking fantastic month. SEE YOU AT COACELLO 2019! 🎻🤘🎃 https://www.instagram.com/p/BppRVo2lMfanazZwBsI2dEdED9Jih6NFQ1pHQo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pkyntapwzlly

Today was my 5th fall luncheon with My Sisters' Place and my second one being featured as a speaker. It's wild to me that I've been with this agency for over four years, in three different positions. The topic today was #MeToo, which is so important to me as an advocate and as a survivor; I'm really grateful that I'm able to speak about my incredible clients and be part of this ongoing fight against the institutions and systems of oppression that perpetuate gender-based violence. Plus I got to bring my mom, who is a powerful survivor herself and a huge part of who I am. 💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaQqFSlDrEbwkb2qewl4z4PRH_eH1aKbx0zWI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lt6u3phh8fq9

For #slowfashionoctober I made the #aldershirtdress by @grainlinestudio! The fabric is an organic poplin by @monalunadesign which was perfect for the tailored fit of this dress. I was a little worried that this might be too summer-y for October, but the month started out unreasonably warm and this works great as a layering piece. This is definitely a pattern I'll return to. ✂️✂️✂️ #handmadewardrobe #sewersofinstagram #handmadeclothing #sewing #seamstress #dressmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/BpRz5DWF7fXy47ORUW8xFvqoYfbL3n7kaat4X40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pkqoutdiaiv0

Bonus: we had so much spent grain leftover and didn't know what to do with it, so I made pizza dough with it! Tasted really good, especially topped with soppressata, shishito peppers, red onion, mozz, chili oil and honey! https://www.instagram.com/p/BopiSN-FESiGN4TNbYbbusYkZ6MDJvJaZlVbv80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g7awh3gs9g23
