My Mother’s Attic // 2

February’s remake is up on New Dress a Day today. It’s a sweatshirt mumu turned cozy, Valentine’s ensemble. I rocked this on Vday and received many a compliment, particularly on those heart elbow patches. I love that addition, too!

Now I’m off to Boston to prep Kate’s studio for tomorrow’s class! We are beyond excited to teach to a sold out room of students. Full debrief next week before we do round 2 in the Berks. (There’s still room in the Berkshires class – please join us! Plus many more classes this summer and fall).

I’m scooping up Kimmy from the airport tonight and she’s serving as our “assistant slash intern” for the day. She and my dad spent the week kiteboarding in the Dominican Republic. Of course they did! Kimmy’s college roomie is from the DR, so they stayed in her family’s water front home and got to fly over the surf and consume half the Atlantic ocean all week. Doda is one rad 60 year old man, eh? Another badass. It’ll be nice to grab a drink with the fam to relax before tomorrow’s adventure. Wish us luck!

And check out the full post on New Dress a Day.

My Mother’s Attic // 1

I’m thrilled to introduce my latest partnering with the lovely Marisa of New Dress a Day. I shared my tree skirt tutorial on her blog during the holiday season, and am excited to announce a monthly column aptly titled My Mother’s Attic wherein I shall be pulling pieces from my mother’s (grandmother’s and GREAT-grandmother’s) wardrobes and making them current. You can read all about the new column and see the full blow-by-blow (and story) about this rocking early-90s dress of my mom’s that I wore (remade) as my New Year’s Eve ensemble here.

 

New Year’s eve did indeed call for bed jumping. And champagne. Hope you enjoy my novice foray into sewing! Eep!
