Progress - Pleating
What started as a need for clothes that fit how I imagined them quickly turned into a full-on creative pursuit. I bought a sewing machine, taught myself, and from there, it became a process that has since woven its way into my life as something more than just a skill—it’s a practice of mindfulness. Sewing forces me to pause, to be present in a way that no other hobby does. It's about feeling the fabric, the rhythm of the machine, and finding flow in something tangible.
I don’t use patterns. Everything I make is born from an idea in my head—measuring, cutting, and stitching by instinct. There’s a freedom in not following a set guide, but also a challenge. Mistakes happen, stitches don’t always line up as planned, but those moments are where the magic lies. Each piece is a conversation between me and the fabric, a delicate dance of intention and discovery. It’s a constant process of trial and error, and in that, I find my space to learn and grow.
For me, sewing isn’t just about creating something to wear—it’s about shaping an experience, one stitch at a time. It’s a reflection of my creative journey, an expression of patience, intuition, and a love for making things by hand.
