After a lot of thought (and a few late nights staring at my studio shelves), I’ve decided to close up my physical product shop. That means once my remaining inventory is gone… it’s gone for good. It feels a little bittersweet to say that. Those pins, sewing labels, and printed templates have been such a fun part of my creative journey, but it’s time for me to fully...
