More vintage inspiration......

I spend hours researching fashion history for inspiration.....it never ceases to amaze me the lovely examples of fine workmanship that I continue to discover.  I have such admiration for the hands that fashioned these lovely pieces, most of which must have been made entirely by hand.  I remember my Fashion History classes and my amazing instructor, Dr. Frank.  She saw to it that we understood the evolution of fashions.....not just for their aesthetic interest, but also for their necessity....the reasons for the styles of the time and the materials that were available during the period.  In this day and age...

The beauty of a vintage peignoir......

Oh if I were only able to produce a piece with such intricate detail!  I have no doubt that this was a handmade peignoir set enjoyed by a very fortunate lady.  When I run across lovely images like this I am inspired to dive into my lace and fabric stash, pull out the needle and thread, and see what I can create!  It is from moments like this that some of my best work results as I thoughtfully remember the patient hands of those I observed when I was a very young girl.   I continue to learn from all those...

Learning from those who came before me....

I learned so much as a young girl from observing the work of my mother and both grandmothers...I was fortunate to be surrounded by creativity during those formative years.  Watching and learning through those years to think outside the box and to make the most of what I had to work with....such was the foundation of the Simple Pleasures of today. #learnandgrow #preciousmemories #fashiondesigner #seamstress #olderandwiser Never forget your humble beginnings and always do your best with what you have to work with.  To this day,  I still have this reminder taped on one of my sewing machines.... "Whatsoever your hands...

Handmade in my studio......

 This mood board is so "me!"  From the dainty perfume bottles, to the vintage fashions, to the luscious feminine sleepwear.....I love it all!  And "handmade" is a reflection of the quality that you will find in everything that I make, and in all that I collect.  There is an appreciation for the work of artisan hands that permeates every fiber of my being!  God placed in me that passion many years ago and it was further cemented there by the precious women who influenced me as I grew from a little girl with nimble fingers and a tiny thimble, to...
