How a piece comes together

Every piece starts as a stack of fabric on my table in Louisville. Here's what happens between that and your door.

01 Fabric

I pick prints and colors for each piece, or pull them to match your request.

02 Cutting

Every pattern piece is measured and cut by hand.

03 Sewing

Each piece goes through my sewing and embroidery machines, with names and details stitched one at a time.

04 Finishing

Trimmed, pressed and checked before it's wrapped and shipped.
