the katie dress.

this past sunday afternoon i was looking around the craft room at home trying to find something to do and then i found this old floral fabric. four hours later..a dress. (if you ever want to learn about patience, learn to sew. or if you are a boy, learn to fish).

it was super easy to make.. i simply sewed the skirt portion, hemmed and ruffled the top. i bought the tank at target and used the excess fabric to make the ruffle and voila a simple sundress.

i like to call it "the katie dress."

special thanks to my best friend, roommate, kindred spirit, katie for being my model.

much love,

independent study.

as a senior textiles and apparel major i was able to pick a special topic for an independent study for my last semester in college. i chose to study surface design. i researched the history of textile surface design, techniques and surface designers, but my favorite part of my independent study was researching textiles through out the decades and one of my best resources was this blog.

here are some of my favorites.
