How Fitting Podcast
My patternmaker and I connected when I had a retail space in St. Louis (where she is located). She invited me to be on her podcast in 2020, and then again this year.
Alison asks about my next goals in both episodes and it's pretty wild to hear the difference in my answers. In 2020, I was riding high, having just relaunched my business after navigating covid shutdowns. I had dreams of a retail space with onsite tailoring and consignment.
I'll let you listen to hear my answer in 2025. You can tell your girl has been through it. More accurately, you can tell I've learned a lot about what it takes to manufacture clothing and run a business.

Silk Scarf Care Tips
My silk scarves are labeled as dry clean recommended, but silk itself is washable—it's dye transfer that can be an issue.
Researching, experimenting, and learning to care for these silk scarves has been a rewarding experience. It’s reminded me how embracing the lost art of laundering clothing can elevate the enjoyment and appreciation of our wardrobes.
After experimenting with various washing and drying methods, I’ve shared my favorites in these videos. Please note that I can’t guarantee there won’t be dye transfer, so hand wash at your own discretion.
