“I’m wearing wore MACKIN by @haialexandraa. What inspired my style was the theme of the Bad Binch Tong Tong show. I wanted to highlight dimension by incorporating it into my outfit. The idea of blending something timeless with the grandeur of a cathedral fascinated me, so I combined these elements along so with my designer to create a look that felt both eternal and architectural.”

Bought these absolutely stunning prints from 8pxl and immediately knew they needed to stay together. Fashioning a frame out of a box might be a little low tech for most people when it comes to gifts, but I love the look it creates here, especially once it was covered in wrapping paper!
I am in love with the pearlescent yet still pixelated sheen on everything ✨

The quilted progress pride pillowcase is finished! Finally used all those fancy decorative stitches my sewing machine has. They are indeed very decorative. First time actually finishing a quilt and being happy with it. Yes, it's a little bubbly and wonky, but I don't care. Because it's a pillowcase, nobody would notice if it were all perfectly neat. The filling is a cobbled together bunch of floof from all the pillows my dog has torn up in the past. Don't worry, she won't get this one.
Based on my own pattern, which is in turn based on the progress pride flag design by Valentino Vecchietti.

Fiddling around. Layered trimmings from carving down "stones" made of recycled paper and paint.

“I made my whole outfit from waste materials for my label Mola Mola — the coat is old canvas and pillowcases, collar is hand-painted and beaded from scraps, pants are thrifted and cut to look like wings with red panels and block prints. Bag is Coach lent by a dear friend. Boots are thrifted Heaven by Marc Jacobs. I'm always learning from artists like Janelle Abbott who turn waste into showstoppers and honor their materials. I love color, mixing prints and textures, and big silhouettes.“

Sweater collar mend
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thrifted this sweater for $3 and immediately ripped the back of the collar when I washed it. There are probably better and prettier ways to mend this, but I just ironed on some interfacing and secured it with a few stitches.
Current works in progress:
Tons of origami roses for the wedding
Make up bags for my bridesmaids
Painting a thrifted coat hook with folk art inspired designs
Knitting a hat for my fiancé
Lots of mends for other people that I put off
