hip specials welcoming 2010




it was a very busy fall and winter 2009. i'm in the full-time fashion program at george brown college, honing pattern drafting and industrial sewing techniques. with 3 weeks off over the holidays i've finally had a chance to offer my customers new year specials. i'm hoping to sell everything off leaving a clean slate for new 2010 creations.

torontonians are welcome to avoid shipping charges and pick up purchases in person. leave me a convo on etsy specifying the item you wish to purchase, size, etc. and i will create a reserved listing with your name.

here you are...3 scarves for $50, handmade fitted t-shirts $72 (regular $85), all handbags include a FREE scarf. happy holidays everyone!

fuchsia coffeebean memories shirt

here's a glimpse of hip's fuchsia coffeebean memories shirt. it's one of my favourites and took over 4 hours to make! this shirt will be difficult to part with when the time comes. i would keep it for myself but it's a size small [and i'm a medium :( ].

tailored vests



i designed this fitted vest along with 13 others implementing upholstery fabric swatches acquired from cornerstone interiors into the panels. otherwise the discontinued swatches would have been discarded. this vest worn with an untucked fitted shirt would offer an modern slant to a classic garment.

i finally bought a new camera (canon powershot g7) and will be uploading photos of additional vests in the near future. henry's offers a portrait lighting workshop may 8th. let's hope for more professional photos after that date :)

hip memories shirt


i made 8 of these for the xmas ooak show and they sold out. i'll be making more for spring (april 1-5). remnants of previously sewn hip shirts remembered through this meticulous process of arranging and sewing them together.

i'm working on little change purses this weekend. they're in the fine tuning stage
but should be in production and on etsy soon.
