Art vs Artist 2025
I couldn't help but make two - one for sewing art and one for non-sewing art. I do what I want.✌🏼😝
I am really proud of so many of the sewing makes I put my name on and sent out into the world this year. More than that, I am immensely grateful that people out there value my handmade, custom, and one-of-kind creations enough to pay me for them. Thank you!!🥹💙
Some highlights: I made lots of hoodies and cozy comfy children's clothes, upcycled a ton, got more comfortable with zipper tape, made a hand sewn tie from a wedding dress, and gave new life to more than half a dozen old quilts by turning them into other things.🪄
I also made more non-sewing art this year than probably any other year to date. Surrounding yourself with other creatives *matters* (in real life, online, or both!). I found some wonderful online artist friends, made a mixed media piece for an art collab within a greater art community, and had the pleasure of teaching and making art at with so many amazing humans. Showing up, experimenting, and fostering a safe place to create is the foundation for a creative life and I really felt that this year.❤️
Thank you to those who have been there this year to inspire me, to cheer me on, and to kindly answer my incessant questions when trying something new. Notably:

Excited for an even more creative 2026!🧵🪡🎨✨
