Sending out some of the last pieces in the ready made classique collection and feeling hella sentimental thinking about all the time and love I put into every piece and the world surrounding it🥹🧚‍♀️✨ This collection was made for servers and folks in the service industry. Most models are people I met while working in restaurants or someone in the nucleus of friends, people I shared long hours with and after hour stories over endless pours of beer. I only ever wanted to share our world and the grueling, tireless yet beautiful lives we lived. Much love to Philly for being the perfect backdrop and source of inspiration, no one does it like Philly 🌷 Thank you for your beautiful support as I shifted into new ventures and unraveling interests. This collection will forever hold the dearest part of my heart 🏹💘 one day I hope to take these patterns out again but for now my mind is a river, continuously moving and changing until it meets the current once again🪞🕊️ #handmadeworkwear #handmadeapparel #handmadejumpsuit #microbusiness #slowfashion

Such an honor to create @sweetbaphomet a custom ren faire fit 🌹From fabric selection to realized dream, I had so much fun making this idea come to life 👼 Thank you for unlocking a new challenge for me! I now only want to make striped pants…. But for those who really know me that’s not such a big surprise 😉 #unknownapparel #renfaire #renfairecostume #renfairejester

Ren faire my favorite time of year🌹 what used to be a secret thing I did as a kid is now loudly loved with my son! The first thing I ever made was a navy burnout velvet hooded cape for Ren faire when I was about 9. We didn’t have a machine so I hand sewed it, and we didn’t have money for much fabric so I went with a cape. Always thankful for this event for igniting my passions, sharing love and wealth of knowledge. I love living this imaginative day in history❤️ my outfit is 100% made by me and my sons is about 45% made by me. Next year I’m thinking of adding bubonic plague boils 🥰 #renfaire #renfairecostume #renfaireoutfit

𝕸𝖞 𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖘𝖙 𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖊𝖉 𝖕𝖎𝖊𝖈𝖊 𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖊 𝖎𝖓 2022🌹 Never posted this because days after I finished it one of my best friends passed away and it didn’t feel right. I’ve brought it along to some markets and so many people have asked me to name my price but I don’t think I ever will be able to part with it because the memories sewn into each bead, may it be melancholy is what I have left to remember that change in time and heartbreak🤍

Lately : always feel like I’m running behind, always tired, always feel like crying, always feel like my son is growing up too fast, always feeling like I could do better at work when I’m doing my best, always mourning the moments. Still here trying 🌹
