San Francisco Green Festival Eco-Fashion Show

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!
