25.01.2022 First job for today... Inserting another layer of lace, taken from the hem, into the back of this wedding dress. An October wedding, but the location is anticipated to be chilly. Every bit counts. Red is for contrast so i can actually see what im doing. #weddingalterations #lace #alterations #baste #lovemyjob #

23.01.2022 #Mending. I try my best to make my mends #invisiblemends, this isn't always possible however so I try the next closest thing. This denim skirt has a back patch with denim thread over the top to make it structurally strong once again and now hole-less. #mending #alterations #slowfashion #fixitdonttossit #holes #skirt #fixit#Mending.

22.01.2022 Found JD quickly mending this tape measure... That he had cut. Hoping to rectify his mistake before being found. Yes dear, rotary cutters are sharp and tape measures can be cut. He's a kid who has to try it himself ... #sewing

16.01.2022 17 ivory buttons sewn on a dress 17 ivory buttons sewn on a dress and if 1 ivory button should accidentally drop there'll be 16 ivory buttons sewn on a dress... Sewing 17 buttons is satisfying in a simple, repetitive, mundane, yet good sort of way. I like being able to sit on the couch, watch a movie, and still call it #work
