My Tailored Overcoat: More than a Coat

Isabella Serrano May 1, 2021

I started a business, sewed a tailored overcoat, and completely transformed my life within the last 5 months. I wish I had better words to express how I feel after going through this experience. This is much more than just a coat. This coat makes me feel like a butterfly who’s broken through the cocoon and has spread its wings. This is a new beginning!

Axis Dress: A Love Affair

Isabella Serrano September 24, 2020

If you follow me on instagram then you know t I love the Axis Dress by Papercut Patterns. I’ve made four already! From the front it looks like a simple shift dress, but when you turn around the back bodice criss-crosses, creating a V in the back (I LOVE a good V-back) and wraps around to tie in the front. Simple with a twist. What’s not to love?!

My Mindy

Isabella Serrano June 17, 2020

I got the opportunity to view Fibre Mood’s newest collection of patterns before they were released, as well as my pick of pattern to make! I just fell in love with Mindy. She’s the perfect summer dress with her sweet, empire waist and puff sleeves!

I’m here to share with you my makes and processes, personal style and inspirations, I’m also here to connect and collaborate more with you and the making community. So, on that note, welcome!

    Eloise Headband Web1.png
    Eloise Headband
    $7.00

    Named after the spunky girl who lives in the “room on the tippy-top floor” of the Plaza Hotel in New York City with her nanny, her pug dog, Weenie, and her turtle, Skipperdee.

    The Eloise Headband is a rigid headband, which uses the support of a metal or plastic headband for structure and fit. View A has a band in the center. View B has a knot in the center.

    This is a great pattern for scrap busting! Play around with adding a layer of batting to your headband for extra drama!

    No glue is needed to make this headband.
