Naturally dyed with coreopsis I grew in my back yard.

Hi, I am Tina.

I am a knitter, weaver, dyer, dressmaker, tailor and baker. This is where I share my projects and inspiration.

I like making things from the comfort of my home. I can’t imagine living without being able to make stuff I use everyday.

But I wasn’t always into making things.

From elementary to high school, I loved sewing and crafts. I spent hours altering clothing and decorating shoes. Somehow, after I left for college, I didn’t craft at all. It would be a decade and a half before I would return to making things again.

I’m more of a maker now than ever before.

I’ve just started weaving on a four shaft loom after years of rigid heddle weaving. I knit mostly sweaters and I draft patterns and tailor my own clothing. I’m in the process of replacing every store bought item with a fitted version made from higher quality fabrics.

My dream is to design a tailored wardrobe where I’ve had a hand in making the fabric and choosing the color and texture.

I experience so much joy (and comfort) when my clothes feel good and fit well and are in colors I love. It’s not something that is easy to come by.

Follow me on my journey as I make more items for me, my home and people around me.
