Do you follow?
So much has been happening lately with me and my business! Are you following along? Did you know that I’ve just moved out of the Sewing Room in my home (where I’ve been working for the past 8 years) into a brand new Sewing Room in the Eno River Mill?

Waiting to see Loula (and her dress)!
Whew! Where was I?? I’ve been away from blogging for weeks and I’ve been way behind on sharing with you the process of creating my best friend Loula’s wedding dress! I’m still unwinding from the amazing incredible fantastic weekend I had in New Orleans for Loula’s wedding day. We had an absolute blast. She looked […]
Margaret’s design! A dress is born!
WE HAVE A WINNER! In our third mockup fitting, Margaret chose the Rounded Asymmetrical Collar look for her custom mother-of-the-bride ensemble.

But she also thought she might really like the Rounded Asymmetrical Collar version, […]
Retrospective: The making of a dress, a blog & a business
Leah’s wedding dress was the first real wedding dress that I created for someone I did not already know. It’s funny to think of it that way, because since working with her on her dress, Leah has become one of my most treasured friends and someone I hope to always have as a part […]

As soon as I finished Greta’s dress, I began handcrafting the dress that I would be […]

Just a Peek!
Here’s just a quick snapshot of the back of Greta’s dress featuring the amazing Sposabella and Jaquard collar, the pearl buttons, and the pleated Ivory Silk Shantung. I just packed up the finished dress (!!) for our Final Fitting/Delivery and Fashion Photo Shoot this weekend! I have been so busy creating this stunning dress for […]
What are you waiting for?
I know! I know! I used to write blog posts all of the time and here I am months after my last serious blog post about dressmaking. What am I waiting for??? Well, I am waiting for a few things. I had hoped that my next blog post would have been posted several weeks ago […]
