Alexa is a self taught designer.
It all began with a childhood dream. As a kid, my grandmother loved to knit. When I got old enough, she would ask me to draw pieces that I wanted her to make me. This kicked off my passion for designing.
When the pandemic started, I was itching for something to keep me occupied. My mother told me that we had a sewing machine in our storage and to go get it. Ever since that day, my sewing machine and I have been inseparable.
I taught myself to sew, make patterns, drape and everything in between. I realized that this is more than a hobby, this is my passion!
In November of 2023, I took all of my savings as well as some donations from a few loving family members and purchased my industrial sewing machine. This ultimately kicked my little room from my bedroom to my atelier. Also giving me the confidence to really get my passion started.
Every piece of the garment building proces is considered.
Design
Every piece is a product of my imagination.
Patternmaking
I have made every pattern from scratch and then sized up and down based on the American sizing chart
Fabric
I have picked fabric for every piece.
Fabric cutting
The cutting of pattern pieces has been done by me…. On my living room floor
Sewing
All sewing is done by me in my very small room
And everything inbetween
From website building to modeling. I do it all!
