I closed my 3,000 square foot studio space in 2019 because I was told that customers were not allowed in my store because of social distancing. In March I was given a written notice from the bazaars office at the courthouse saying that if customers entered my facility I would be fined a $1,000 per day, with 24 hours in jail, and I would not be able to renew my business license for 10 years. It didn't make sense to pay rent to the plaza when customers couldn't buy stuff. My landlord begged me to stay, but under the circumstance, I let the lease expire and moved my art studio to the attic of my house. It was a blessing in disguise because now it means my overhead is way less. Shifting the business online made my numbers work better.

The problem with that is I had 3,000 square feet of stuff. My attic looks like tetris and it's a big room. This year I made it my mission to declutter my entire house and business. So far I'm almost all the way done, and now my house is practically empty. The rooms are looking like magazine pictures. Today it was raining so I decided to do the last corner of the art studio. It is still pretty tetresy up there but now it's a better functioning working space.

During this process today I noticed something... I have this big habit of buying art supplies. I made an agreement with myself that I am not allowed to buy any more art supplies or items for the business until I have used the current supplies that are in the room. If I do that by next year I think I can have 2/3 of the items in that room cleared out. Their is a library of fabric that needs new identities.

I made embroidered passport holders with interior pockets.

They were a little difficult because they are stitch intensive.

Scraps don’t have to be the end of a story—they can be the beginning of something beautiful.

This quilt dress was made from pieces of fabric that once lived separate lives. Little remnants, forgotten cuts, and leftover squares all came together to create something joyful and full of color. Seeing them stitched together like this feels like watching a small community form—each piece different, but stronger and brighter together.
Turning quilting into clothing is one of my favorite ways to celebrate creativity. It’s happy, playful, and full of personality. What used to be scraps are now something that can move, twirl, and be worn with pride.
Making pieces like this reminds me that creativity has no limits—sometimes the most beautiful things come from what others might overlook.

New design idea, and this one is all about COMFORT.

I’m working on palazzo cargo pants made from stretch denim — so you get the classic denim look with the flexibility your body needs.

Think wide-leg flow. Statement cargo pockets. And the best part? A comfortable elastic waistband paired with stretch fabric that moves with you all day. No stiffness. No restriction. Just pull them on and go. These are the ones you’ll want to live in.

Would you wear stretch denim with an elastic waist?
