I occasionally refer to one of my old textbooks from fashion design school or vintage sewing books. I also love Gertie’s modern take on vintage and Tilly’s approach to knits. I pretty much throw caution to the wind when I sew, so my library is small and simple.

Check out my Instagram page for more photos, including all my pre-2019 makes. 2018 was the year of denim, blouses, and putting pearlized snaps on everything, with plenty of menswear upcycling thrown in for good measure.
