Home Ec: Learn to Sew is back March 8th at 💫
Pick up a needle and thread and learn all the basics of hand sewing so you can:
-Fix a loose button
-Hem a skirt or pants
-Fix a rip
-Sew your own clothes, toys, decor (!)
-Personalize your wardrobe
Tickets are on the site- spots are super limited so I can work more closely with you (learned that we need more of this from the last class).
Your ticket includes a sewing kit made of upcycled fabrics, complete with needles, thread, snips, pins, measuring tape and more.

Leather Stud Earrings 🟠🟡🟢🟣🟤⚪⚫🔴🔵
Made with scrap leather, hand punched and hand set into either 18k Gold or Sterling Silver plated steel studs. This is me making every attempt to use up all the precious lil bits of leather from making your bags and bolos. Less waste, more outfit options.
I will have a pile of these in both sizes at all of my upcoming shows and they will drop online next week as well for those who are far away. They make great gifts too, btw...
Thanks for the support and patience during this insane holiday season! Grateful for every last one of ya!

Deep Brown Cubist Crossbody.
A brief update from my Manhattan hotel room:
I am utterly behind in posting and updating and doing all the good things a small business should do, and it's been nearly 100% because of new opportunities, teaching, selling work and investing time into the behind the scenes.
So much has changed for the better in a mere six weeks. Just three months ago I was coming out of surgery. Oof.
Until I find solid ground again, I am still working on more growth, more good change and sharing more with all of you, thanks for holding on with me for all this.
XOXO, jess
