I was recently asked to make a quilt for a new baby girl. She was born on the winter solstice and named after her parents’ favorite peak in the Sierra Nevadas. There was a lot of going back and forth on the colors and layout for the quilt, but we finally found a good balance...
I was recently asked by a long time client to make some matching dresses for her two girls, eight in all. The first six were made pretty quickly, and were such fun to put together! The last two however, required some element of patience because the fabric (Betsy Lemonade), which is exclusive to a shop...
Did anyone wonder what happened to me? I have spent every spare moment working on a commissioned queen size quilt for one of my most favorite clients! She had a vision of a bold, Anthro-esque quilt. We went back and forth on the fabrics and decided on our palette. She has excellent taste! The quilt...

It is great fun to see Layla’s personalized jacket and style. I remember having my own denim jacket when I was younger. Unfortunately, I left that jacket at an orchard, quite far from my home. We were not able to return to retrieve it. I’m looking forward to hearing about Layla’s leopard print dress:)
That would have broken my heart!
I sewed a reversible floppy hat in Home Ec in the 1970s. I had buttons (pins) all over it and I thought I was the coolest thing going! I wore the hat at summer camp and got the impression that maybe everybody did not think my hat was as stylish as I did!That jean jacket IS seriously cool though!
I bet your hat was awesome! I love this story. Thank you for sharing!
I was a teenager in the 80s
High wasted Levi 501 jeans and wrangler jeans, ankle boots and leg warmers, had a few denim jackets too, I remember I had a white one, long colourful shirts with big wide belts.
Love the jacket with all the embroidery. I have bought my own embroidery machine recently
I bet you rocked it! Thank you for sharing with us! What are you planning with your new machine?
Wow – this jacket is amazing, Layla! Much cooler than the one I had when I was younger…a couple pins on it and nothing more.
This girl is very proud of this jacket! And pins/buttons are awesome! I remember adding them to a messenger bag I had growing up.
I love that Layla is taking her personal style into her own hands and embellishing her denim jacket. It’s a great way to make a statement and show off her unique personality. I also love that she’s inspired by the styles of the 2000s. I think that was a great time for fashion, and there were so many different trends to choose from. I think it’s great that Layla is following in my footsteps and personalizing her own denim jacket. It’s a great way to create a jacket that is uniquely hers. I also wanted to add that I love the <a href=”https://www.thewesternoutfitters.com/collection/yellowstone-jackets/”>Yellowstone jackets</a>. I’m a big fan of the show, and I think the jackets are a great way to show your support.
Layla’s denim jacket is fantastic! It sounds like she put a great deal of thought into the designing details, and it really paid off! She created a personalized piece of art that she can wear. … I am curious how much time it took to embroider the various designs. I am sure that others would happily pay her to create personalized, one of a kind jackets for themselves & others.
