She/her I make things. My main focus is garment sewing, but I dabble in embroidery and other textile arts as well. I also love dinosaurs, the natural world, people who care about people, and food.
It’s you. You are “dads.”

A brown and yellow striped aquatic snail sits on top of a rock cave, surrounded by aquatic plants, pink and teal gravel, and blue shrimp.
New tank mate just dropped. Meet Frederick. Fred is a zebra nerite snail, chilling in my child’s betta tank. Fred is very slow and I hope will not lay eggs because nerite eggs look terrible.

Close up of a white crewneck sweatshirt, embroidered in black thread and floss to look like a library catalog card. It has areas for author, title, date due, and borrowers name.

Just finished my library catalog card sweatshirt. Pattern is a mashup of two. I saw another sewist on IG (Jasika, not sure if she’s on Bluesky) knit a vest like this and was inspired to make my own version.

A hand with nails painted in a shimmery pale gold, holographic nail color rests on olive and navy linen fabric. A sewing machine foot and needle are visible as well.
I’ve noticed recently that the light from my sewing machine is great for displaying my new nail polishes. I think I’m part dragon for my love of glowy sparkly nails.

The embroidery piece is of a cream colored friendly ghost, holding a black cat with blue eyes. There are green leaves on either side of the ghost. The background is a warm brown colored canvas.
Finally finished this embroidery piece I started before Halloween.

A woman stands on a light blue paddle board in the bay. She is wearing an orange and pink one piece swimsuit with long sleeves and a hat.
This is the Newport One Piece pattern. I like the long sleeves for sun protection while paddle boarding.

Kristi wears a dress with a darted bodice, thin straps, and a gathered skirt. The hemline is scalloped. The fabric is printed with pink T Rex and planters. It’s loud and delightful.
I also made this sundress. It’s got dinosaurs and I love it. No pattern to recommend here - I strayed far from the path.

A rose colored, fuzzy sweatshirt with a seam over the bust lays on top of a homemade quilt, in the sunlight
A white woman in her late thirties wears the sweatshirt mentioned in the post. She has a hand on her hip and her phone is visible in this selfie. A messy background displays an embroidery project of a ghost.
Starting to post my makes here as part of my move away from the ‘gram. Pictured here is the Named Eloisa sweatshirt, sewn in a rose colored Sherpa from Stylemaker Fabrics in WA. Made in Fall 2024.
