year one
100 Acts of Sewing began in 2012 as an attempt to make one hundred dresses for myself and others. The act of creating clothing requires skill, whether it’s weaving or dyeing cloth, sewing or embellishing clothes, these are skills our society no longer values. Instead we are lured by the fast, cheap, and now. Making clothes engenders a sense of self-sufficency. The more I make, the more involved I am in the process, the less I hope to take part in the loop of consume and dispose.
year two
After completing the goal of one hundred dresses, it was hard to pull the plug and stop sewing. I continued to grow my skill, teaching classes and releasing patterns.
