I'm a freelance designer with a small studio and I produce a small artisan line of clothing. I often use ripped and torn item that I buy from the local thrift store and recycle them into new items. For my own personal wear I'm always on the look out for new and original things. I often use burda patterns (and others) for my own personal clothes because I spend my time in the studio making patterns and at home sometimes I just want sew something without the all the fuss and bother! My line includes plenty of easy to customize tops and t's that are retro inspired, but still modern and not dated. I hope to upload a few patterns of my designs and a couple how-to's when time permits.
