Hand Embroidered Ukrainian Shirts and Dresses Pub­lished 20/23/2018 Here are just a few absolute­ly stun­ning pho­tos of my sis­ter’s fam­i­ly photoshoot. Each piece was embroi­dered by my mom. My grand­moth­er sewed the adult vyshy­van­ka dress around 35 years ago and I sewed the girls’ vyshy­van­ka dress­es and the baby’s bap­tismal gown, which my sis­ter stuffed in his pants. The pho­tos were tak­en by Indi­ana pho­tog­ra­ph­er Adi­na Brown-Sel­ner. Her pho­tog­ra­phy busi­ness is called...

At the begin­ning of the Covid-19 shut­down, I made batch­es of masks for local doc­tors and fam­i­lies until the short­age end­ed and I focused on help­ing fam­i­ly mem­bers in need.I could­n’t share pho­tos because they were a painful reminder of los­ing my jobs and life in NYC, and most of all the ter­ri­ble iso­la­tion it forced upon all of us. But the Com­mu­nion masks are dif­fer­ent. My cus­tomers need­ed them to...

Pub­lished 08/12/2014 Part 1 here My sister’s dress for the bap­tism was lit­er­al­ly a last minute project. My sis­ter came over last week­end, flipped through Bur­dastyle cat­a­logs, chose a dress design, dug out fab­ric from my stash, and showed me what she want­ed. (How­ev­er, I high­ly rec­om­mend­ed this pat­tern. I’ve want­ed to make this dress since I first saw it in the Bur­dastyle cat­a­log in Feb­ru­ary.) Since my sister’s body is...
