It's day three of my internship in SF at The Mission Statement with Estrella, and already i've learned so much! The proper direction to cut fabric, how to attach an elastic waist easily, and lengthening sleeves on mens jackets...
Last night we were down in her studio below the shop until 1am sewing along with another intern she has from SF state. It was wonderful to be creating in such an inspiring space. I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy working with people around who are just as motivated as I am. When I'm working from home, at my sewing desk, it's so easy to get distracted or forget to take a break, and this is just what I need to stay balanced.
While i'm here, in honor of Earth Day, the city is having a Green Festival, and on Sunday, April 11th, Estrella will be among the few local designers in the festival's Eco-Fashion Show. The best part is, I'll be modeling in it for her!

Three Sixty Ecotique, 511 Main st. downtown Chico
On April 1, I decorated the Ecotique's storefront window with Parasol Project effects... a couple spring dresses, some framed photo's of recent work, and ta da! a display! Simple and eye catching, if I don't say so myself :)
My first in a series of similarly patterned dresses is waiting there, it's short in gray linen with a light pink applique flower and cinched waist. A modest yet very flattering and comfortable unique fit that is perfect for warm sunny weather or can be gussied up and look adorable paired with some tights and fancy flats for a night out...
Come have a look-see!
