My interest in slow fashion stems from a deep concern with the way overconsumption and textile waste affects our planet. By teaching myself how to craft my own clothing, I can lead a more sustainable lifestyle and gain back the level of customization and detail that mass-production lacks. I began this journey by making tote bags. Now, I'm learning how to create pattern pieces that are custom-made to fit my body. I'm excited to share my growth throughout this learning process and progress to making more complex pieces!

More pieces are on their way! I am currently making tops, trying to craft them from scratch rather than working with a pattern. Excited to share these!
