Milagros t-shirt
I’m really, REALLY happy with the way the way this lettering came out! I accidentally bought pearlized paint, but I love how it makes the letters all shiny. Inspired by the Miracles community center boombox in Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. Most people get songs stuck in their heads; I get songs AND type stuck in [...]
Navy T-Shirt
Vintage fabric from one of my all-time favorite dresses on Urban Outfitters t-shirt. The dress was originally a maxi, but the print in thick polyester was a bit much for the eye, so I shortened it. There was a lot of fabric left over, which I’ve kept over the years. August 23, 2008 Size S/M [...]
Sweat[shirt]er
This one’s definitely been a work in progress. I cut this sweatshirt and sewed the buttons on it while I was still in college (2002?) when I had this idea to sew dainty vintage buttons on 80′s sweatshirts and turn them into sweaters. I wore this a few times and into oblivion it went after [...]

Breakfast on Pluto sweater
2007 The buttons came from a massive collection that my friend inherited from her great aunt. I call it the Breakfast on Pluto sweater because it looks like Patricia Kitten’s festive Catholic school sweater from that movie. I set this piece aside for several months, after finishing the the sleeve in March. I felt it [...]

Tuxabera Shirt
2007 Based on the screenprinted tuxedo shirts of the 1970′s. The floral pattern was cut off a Mexican dress I bought 6 or 7 years ago to convert into a hippie blouse. I saved the extra skirt part that had some embroidery on it. The tie is drawn with puff paint, and the t-shirt is [...]
Lollypoppy Skirt
2007 I started off with just a circle pattern, but it morphed into a floral when I realized the design needed a little something extra. I based the design off a poppy pattern that was popular in the late 70′s/early 80′s I can remember seeing everywhere as a child: my brother’s 1st birthday cake paper [...]
