The latest jacket design I’ve been working on—this is the V2 mockup. The pocket placement is drawn on while I work on finessing the fit so I don’t have to sew pockets into every version.

A little sneak peek of a new design in progress! Still needs some minor pattern tweaks before I start on the size grade testing, but this is a very promising working sample. I also gotta source a cord for the drawstring…

The last Scout Hat colour sample is complete! Finally timed myself on how long this takes to build, so with that final bit of info I can complete a costing analysis to get these on the store! Huzzah!

Making some last tweaks to the visor pattern for the Scout Hat. Fixing that sad, slouchy band. Version 2.0 looks much improved.

We’re at mock-up ver. 4, but I think I’m getting close!
Still working out some of the fit issues, but at this point I’m now expert-level at sewing those bean inserts.

Quilted vest sample is turning out excellently! Lookit that top-stitching! Still needs some tweaks though.
Not sure what fabric the final will be? This one is made from some leftover cottons from my cosplay days.

This vest sample is my current hyper fixation. Excited to do the top-stitching on the quilted layers.

This is mock-up 3 of my newest shirt design! Those bean details are looking much closer to how I envisioned, & I’ve improved at sewing them too.
Still needs work in the shoulder area—unfortunately Minerva here is not equipped with arms, so I need to find a real human to use for fit testing.

MW-004 LITTLE WITCH DRESS - A first collection design (retired) & the start of my thumbhole sleeve obsession! I liked the secret pockets at the base of the contrast panels. All dresses should be equipped with pockets.

The Pathfinder Hood - The finished garment looks EXACTLY how I was envisioning it when I started the first design sketch. A rare case where I designed the garment specifically to showcase these rad buckles I acquired!

MW-003 DRUID TUNIC - Still the record holder for the most failed mockups (12) I've ever made in the quest for the perfect hood. Nearly beat by the time I tried to reinvent this same tunic but with a raglan sleeve.

Hat progress! Finishing off the visor today--the bias edge finish turned out beautifully & I am very happy with the topstitching.

Inventory hell is over! Now the store is restocked & open for Made-to-Order!
...Unless you want to order any pants in black. In which case you're going to have to wait until later this month when I restock my fabric.
