what do you guys do on your spare time when still creating if you run out of materials/supplies?l and low on funds? I feel like I go crazy because I have so many ideas, sometimes I sketch BUT I HAVE TO SEW!!!

@Vertrell Jones I create a lot. I’ve given friends/designers bags of fabric. The only thing is it can be expensive to ship so I’ll try to look into a flat rate box or something. I know what it feel like to want to create and you just ain’t got the resources. However you just making that post is shows me that the fire is there. That’s what I would like to support. ‼️ Don’t stop creating! 🫶🏽

Prom 2026 Check-In: How’s the Season Going?
Hey designers ✂️✨ We’re officially in the middle of Prom 2026 season, and I wanted to check in with everyone. How is it going for you right now? 👇 Drop below and tell us: • Are you fully booked or still taking clients? • Are fittings running smoothly — or stressing you out? • Are clients booking early… or still trying to rush last minute? 😅 • Are you overwhelmed, behind, or actually enjoying this season? No judgment. Real answers only. If you’re struggling with anything — 📌 timelines 📌 pricing 📌 deposits 📌 difficult parents 📌 rush orders 📌 plus-size fittings 📌 pattern adjustments 📌 or just burnout this is exactly what this community is for. Comment “HELP” if you want support or feedback. Comment “WIN” if something is going really well and you want to share it. Or drop your question and let’s problem-solve together 💬🧵 Prom season can be beautiful… it literally it doesn’t have to be chaotic. Let’s finish Prom 2026 strong 💪🏾✨

✂️ Designer Live Planning Thread
Hey designers! 🧵✨ I’m planning an upcoming live sewing session where we’ll create an item from scratch — pattern → cutting → construction. Before I finalize the plan, I want your input. If there’s a garment you’d like to see made, please: 📸 Post an inspiration photo in the comments —or— 🧵 Create your own post if you can’t add photos here. This will help me plan the lesson properly and choose the best techniques to teach. For reference, I specialize in: • Ready-to-wear • Bespoke gowns (bridal, prom, formalwear) And yes — I currently have a LOT of prom gowns in production, so we can absolutely go in that direction too 😄 The floor is yours. Drop your ideas below 👇🏽

@Vertrell Jones hey Queen! do I have permission to post this on my public fb as the inspiration for our first live or course for the community. I don’t want to share a clients sketch. I’ll also tag you in the post.

Last Bride of 2025
My last bride of 2025 🥰🫶🏾 In my studio, we focus on fit first. “Flattering” is personal… it can only be defined by the wearer. While I truly loved how the gown turned out, the journey to the finish line was not easy. We went through a lot together to get there. One major lesson I took away from this experience is this….. you can go above and beyond for a client, but once wedding pressure sets in, many forget the original agreements and guidelines established during the booking process. In the end, she clearly loved her dress and that’s what mattered most. But it does leave me reflecting on something important: why are clients so excited to book us, yet struggle to trust us once the process begins? This season reminded me that craftsmanship is only part of the job …. education, communication, and boundaries are just as important. Ask me anything about this look. Let’s chat! 🫶🏾

@Corey Hicks yes. For this client specifically I did the base first then overlay. Fabric was super stretchy but heavily beaded. It was very forgiving!
