Red Trench + Sew What Tee

I released another t-shirt!!! Click the photo below:

It has this cool 90’s vibe that I love. The design is so different from other sewing t-shirts that I’ve seen and I like that its a more modern look of what sewing is in today’s world is comparison to my mother’s or grandmother’s time.

Isn’t it amazing that as a seamstress, you are able to sew anything you see on your favorite celebrity, on the runway, or nowadays, on your favorite street style blogger? I love that!!! I mean, when I first started sewing, I didn’t think that this would ever be possible. I never even crossed my mind. But, here we are, six years later. Recreating looks from our favorite style inspirations.

Sam (pictured above) is one of my favorite fashion bloggers. I look to fashion bloggers for different things. She is from the UK and has the most effortless street style. I love how simple her style is because she always adds an unexpected element, whether its an accessory, bold shoe, or garment.

I saw this photo of her on her instagram and knew I wanted to recreate this entire look, but first I needed that red coat! LOL! I don’t have a red coat in my wardrobe, so I thought it was time.
