in the Classroom

To say that I’ve been busy might be an understatement these days. It’s already October, I can’t believe how quickly time flies by. Autumn is my favorite season, because, aside from the beautiful weather, there are so many things that I always have planned around this time.

The batik fabric dying workshop was really fun, also. I’m always kind of a dunce when it comes to layering on colors, especially in printing techniques like this one, […]

The clothes are minimal and constructed beautifully. From Ace & Jig linen and […]
