Hi, I’m Lala and welcome to my blog. I’ve been in love with fashion design for as long as I can remember. When I was a young child I made paper dolls with endless outfits. Then, I went to college and earned my BFA in Fashion Design. As life happened, so did mommy hood. Dreams of a career as a fashion designer went on the backburner. Sewing, patternmaking, and fashion illustration became a side hobby that I dabbled in off and on.
I started a dressmaking business where I did alterations, custom dresses, and dance costumes. I then transitioned into an embroidery business where I sold personalized accessories and apparel in an online store. One day, I realized I was burnt out by it all. It was a hard and emotional, but I closed my business and went back to a regular 9-5.
I’m soon to be an empty nester and I have more time for me. After thinking about what I really want, I decided I just want to sew again, but just for me and only what I want to sew. I want to fall in love with sewing again. I’ll be sharing that journey here. I’ll also share some of my sewing, embroidery, and business knowledge to empower other seamstresses to follow where ever their passion leads them.
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a comment. I’d love to learn about you and hear your sewing journey, too!
