Nana is wearing a lavender wool cape that I made specially for her.

My mom is wearing a cream-colored silk shantung blouse that I made for her.

“Vintage Vogue” dress. The floral cotton sateen was originally intentioned as sofa covering.

The dress on the left was constructed from outdated and damaged garments to give the textiles new life. This business/cocktail dress was made from the skirt of a 1996 wine-colored bridesmaid dress, and a striped men’s shirt . The pattern was chosen to most efficiently use the fabric.
