I'm often inspired by vintage textiles & I'm always down for a good upcycle! Taking something old & making it new is the beauty of sewing! ✨🪡🧵

Curtain pants!!!

I made these pants last July & just now got around to wearing them!! They were a little bit sheer & I needed to add back pockets, which I finally did at our last sewing club in June!

I took a pair of vintage curtain panels with cutwork embroidery, hacked the by Friday Pattern Company to not have a side seam & whipped these fun and comfy pants!!

I love using vintage textiles for garments! Would you sew with vintage curtains?? 🤍

Day 30!!!
✨Ren Faire Edition✨🧚‍♀️

We took a day trip to Chattanooga for the first annual & we had the most wonderful time!! Was it crowded & rainy? Yes, but that didn't dull the magic at all! I can't wait to see how this event continues to grow in the coming years!!! 💕

I made my whole costume, which is SO fun! It's pretty much the exact same thing I wore back in April, but the reverse side of the corset! I also added some comfier shoes & an umbrella for shade - and rain yesterday!!

There's something kind of poetic about building & adding to a costume over time! I already have plans & edits in mind, to make these pieces more comfy & fun! 💕

Corset is the by
Pink blouse is the by
Pink skirt is just a ruffled elastic waist skirt!
Wings are from Amazon & adjusted by me to sit in my corset - I made a reel!
All the fabric I used is second hand & the corset is made from scraps of vintage lace tablecloths, napkins, curtains & doilies!

Knoxville friends!! I'm officially offering private sewing lessons!!

If you know me personally, you know I've been talking about this for years now! I've absolutely fallen in love with teaching sewing over the past few years & have felt like there's a gap in the local market for garment & costume sewing lessons

I'm offering many options for all skill levels & all ages! Well, 5 years and up! If you're interested, click the link below to fill out an interest form & I'll get back to you!

Feel free to share with your friends & family who might be interested! 🧵🪡🤍
