ochre brown sequence burgundy wine dusty rose silk lined Tweed asymmetrical jacket custom bespoke leather anagrassia coat ruffle black wide collar dinosaur kids

Mak­ing match­ing jack­ets with my nieces has become an annu­al tra­di­tion. This year Gigi request­ed a dinosaur jack­et. This was a tall order espe­cial­ly since bomber jack­ets with dinosaur appliqués was not an option. There­fore I had to be a bit more cre­ative with the lim­it­ed mate­ri­als and time I had available. I decid­ed upon burnt orange/brown tweed wool with sequins, which remained from a pre­vi­ous pur­chase in NYC. I...

The Calling of the Artist
Marusya
Ukrainian Seamstress Tailor Mary Grace Godfrey

The best things in life uplift us. I am not talk­ing about ele­va­tors when we need to get to the top floor, (although that is nice). Rather I am talk­ing about lift­ing our spir­its as we go about our day-to-day activ­i­ties. This is the role of the artist, who “give us enthu­si­asm to do our work” as St. John Paul II said in his famous Let­ter to Artists. Beau­ty speaks...

easter dress blush pink silk lace

I loved cre­at­ing this cus­tom ordered East­er dress for Izzy!  The dress is made with pink lace and lined (& under­lined) with blush pink silk & cot­ton fabric. This dress looks pret­ti­er in per­son than in pho­tos. The pink is light with a peach col­or undertone.  I rarely wear pink, but I would def­i­nite­ly wear this pink col­or and dress style! Lined and under­lined with beau­ti­ful silk cot­ton fabric...

Unlike most peo­ple, I nev­er con­sid­ered the new year begin­ning Jan­u­ary 1st. Through my school years, my new year began in late August and I count­ed the years by my grade. Now I no longer count my years that way, but it’s still not the first of the year. Now my new year starts on Easter. Any­one who knows me well, knows how much I HATE Lent. Between the unpre­dictable...
