Flosstube 15 - I’ve got Zebra stripes, 3 new starts, a lot of plans, and some unexpected nerves

pattern design journey and arty opinions. I also discuss mental health and living with invisible disability and how creativity can be a tool for coping and joy.

I make all kinds of things here in my studio - bed quilts, art quilts, sewing my own clothes (from mostly my own patterns), zero waste sewing, painting, drawing, photography, and more, all of which may appear from time to time. I am definitely a multi-crafter.
