this week, i’m working on creating a backstock of some of my tried and true styles. that includes the strap back vests and boleros. i have piles of matched ties laying around taking up space while waiting to be sewn. when i’m done, i can then concentrate on some of the new ideas that are brewing in my head like, bustles, underbust vests, sweater dresses, fedoras, and top hats! whew! that’s a long list. i better get to work. here are some of the boleros i made from new ties that i got on my recent thrifting trip:






as always, you can email me to purchase one of these boleros or to place a custom order!
