One-of-a-kind pieces that stand out in the crowd
We believe that how and wear things are made matters, so all of our jackets are either upcycled or handmade and all of our designs are created by hand in house.
This is an upcycled vintage Bongo jacket, fits like a size S although there is no size tag. It is a black acid wash with a vintage 90's feel. It is a button closure with top load breast pockets and an oversized crop style. There is no tag but it feels like 100% cotton. The back features machine appliquéd phases of the moon in tan, black, and white fabrics (the tan and black fabric was hand printed (and sourced) in France). A popped collar reveals the phrase "Wherever you're goin' I'm going' your way" (Moon River/Johnny Mercer).

Stitch it Your Way
When I started this challenge, I thought the new thing I was learning was smocking. And technically, it was. But looking at the finished dress, I think I learned much more about the process of learning a new technique.
There is a temptation when you're trying something for the first time to follow all of the rules—to make the technique look the way it is "supposed" to look so that you've somehow proven you learned it correctly.
But that's not really how I want to make things.
Slow Stitch Summer
For this month’s Aurifil Artisan challenge, the prompt was Slow Stitch Summer which meant putting the machine aside for a bit and spending some time with hand stitching.
I knew almost immediately that I wanted to combine the challenge with something else I had been dying to try: cyanotype printing on fabric.
