Creation Starts With Love
One of my favorite creative projects to date didn't just start with a pair of scissors but also with the brazen (but well-intended) decision to get married during a pandemic as well as make my own wedding dress. This wasn’t something I intended when we initially got engaged, however halfway through the planning process, I felt inspired to just make my gown myself. Although I had never before constructed a wedding dress, I did have experience designing custom dresses and gowns for proms, maternity, and varying galas & military balls (my husband is in the Army.) I first fell in love with sewing and creating custom clothing as a child, hand sewing dresses for my Barbie dolls, learning from both my mother and my Godmother. With time, I graduated from sewing by hand with a needle and thread to sewing on a machine and making clothing for myself, followed by friends and family. Soon there after, I began receiving design inquiries from potential customers. As a freelance seamstress & designer, I quickly learned that it didnt matter whether I was creating something original for myself or being commissioned to bring someone else’s creative vision to life, inspiration marries exceptionally well (pun intended) with the excitement and anticipation of the occasion. As an artist, the ability to use my creativity in such a way that adds to the magic of the moment is extremely fulfilling, and I am significantly inspired by the act of bringing both creative work projects and passion projects to life by use of skill and imagination.
