Was browsing across your profile, just wanted to say your sewing room looks gorgeous! :) Hope you’re doing well :)

Aww, thanks! Of course, it hasn’t been that clean since I took the photo haha ;) It’s been a while since I posted anything, I’ve been busy with my shop and some upcoming travel plans. I’m actually working on some new things and once Stephen gets out from school we’ll be having a photo shoot day. How have you been, have any projects in the works?

HI! I really like your projects! Holy! I read your profile thing and I am freaked out because it sounds like you are me in a few years! I am planning to go to college in south portland In a few years…..I love portland! anyway, you seem to have a really great talent and I look forward to seeing your next project!
Feb 20, 2011, 01.34 PMby nuiwida23
Wow, thanks so much! It’s great that girls are getting involved in sewing again…I don’t ever want it to be a lost art. Keep at it, and maybe I’ll see you around Portland sometime!

Thank you so much Alison! I am honored to be a part of this community. This is my favorite post of BurdaStyle’s yet, I am a major “green” advocate and have learned to incorporate that even into my sewing. Thanks again :)

hillary, i just received a box of designer sweater goodness from maine. HOLY COW. you are beyond talented. i can’t wait to leave you feedback— i’ve gotta get a shot first so i can include a photo! i am just in love with this, seriously, i’ve had it on for 5 minutes and it is my favorite piece of warmth i have ever owned. thank you!!!
Sep 9, 2010, 08.40 PMby nuiwida23
I am SOOO happy you love it! It means a lot to me, this is the first time I have really offered my things to other people and I must admit, I was a bit nervous about it. You have SQUASHED those thinkings and now I’m just even more excited to keep at it! Enjoy :)
Sep 9, 2010, 09.08 PMby oonaballoona
well, lemme tell ya, keep at it you should, i am inches away from buying your orange autumn apple picking hoodie sweater… i need to get some stock in my shop to keep up with my new addiction to yours!
Sep 9, 2010, 09.26 PMby nuiwida23
Hehe…well I took a bit of a break today, I only had motivation enough to make a pair of yoga pants. But tomorrow, I shall continue! And yes, fill up your store because your belts are AH-mazing!
Jul 29, 2010, 02.27 PMby oonaballoona
i realize i’ve lost friends here all the time! i’m still catching up with the move to the new site :)
i’m in love with your sewing room, and i totally get the perks of having parental space— growing up, i had my own little dance studio, complete with ballet barre & mirrors…

I love your projects! And, I’m very jealous of your sewing room. My sewing machine is currently located in my 10′ × 10′ bedroom. :-)
Jul 7, 2010, 12.03 AMby nuiwida23
Thank you! I’m very lucky to have it…however if I wasn’t living with my parents, I don’t think it would be possible! :)

I wouldn’t mind at all, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Hi Hillary, Sorry for answering so late, I just finished my exams, but I have read your message when you posted it! I’m happy to hear from you and reading that you’re healthier already, I hope you will soon feel at your best again. Congratulations with your graduation and good luck at your greenhouse job! Is it a plant greenhouse or a greenhouse home for the elder? I wish you all the best and a lot of summer fun :)
Jun 1, 2009, 02.12 AMby dkocsis45
Hi Hillary. I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I hope you feel 100% soon! Congrats on the job at the Greenhouse. That was actually my first job as well. I used to work for one up in CT for 3 years and then one up in MA for about 5 years. Hope all goes well with you and I also look forward to seeing more of your creations and images!!!

Dear Hillary, I was thinking I haven’t seen your creations around here in a long time, which I noticed because I missed them! You have such a great style plus your pictures are great and you always look so lovely. So I was thinking of you and I’ve been watching your old creations :) But now I read that you have been ill! Are you doing fine by now? I’m sorry for you that you have been out for so long and I hope you will get better soon, please do take care!
Mar 30, 2009, 06.23 PMby tittabear
hillary i added you to my favs b/c i just love your style….your colors, patterns, even your lovely face make your photos fantastic…and i love the way you pose, it’s very elegant, very feminine…you could be a model i think….i’m always waiting for what you’re going to create next!
Oct 15, 2008, 06.33 PMby erdronen
That’s awesome! Someday I look forward to a nice big cutting table too :)
Oct 15, 2008, 01.39 AMby erdronen
ok, so about a hundred people have said this, but i just love your creations! you’re so creative and talented (and all with a nosy cat and a 17-yr-old schedule!) :) That’s ok, I have a nosy 60-lb puppy… that’s fun. He especially likes when I’m cutting my fabric and it’s hanging over the edge of my somewhat small cutting table…
Sep 29, 2008, 06.23 PMby loreliz
