Your Sewing Kit is your Ultimate Arsenal. What are your go-to weapons?

A flimsy needle breaks under pressure. Dull scissors ruin fabric. And that twisted safety pin? It’s not a seam ripper, babe! 💀 Your tools should empower your creativity, not hinder it at every turn.z̄

Dive into the latest blog where I break down the must-have essentials—because you deserve stitches as sharp as your imagination. Check it out. Elevate your toolkit. Then return and tell us: What’s your most trusted weapon in the sewing arena? ⚔️🧵

(P.S. A well-fed bobbin is a happy bobbin. Don’t @ me.)

Drumroll please!🎉

Introducing the first piece in my debut collection named after someone hella special, my mom, Lin. This shirt is made of Pinilian, a Philippine woven fabric I couldn't say no to during my last trip to the Philippines.

This marks the beginning of my very own capsule wardrobe. If you want to make this top, build your own capsule wardrobe, explore other patterns in this collection or learn how to sew I have a great way for you to start. Sign up to be on my contact list & I’ll keep you in the loop.

I admit, I haven't been the most consistent with my social media, but I've gotten into a nice routine with journaling.
The juiciest parts of this journey and process are in my journal.

What is a sewist?

If you’re not in the arts & crafts scene, you might not know the term. A sewist is about more than just sewing—it's a passion for creating and expressing yourself with fabric, even when mistakes happen.

🌟 Crafty Bruha is relaunching soon, though not in the traditional sense. My Virgo moon seeks perfection, but my Aries sun is making me to take action. This journey may be messy, but progress beats perfection!

Anyone else really, really love mangoes?!

Been a little M.I.A recently but for good reason.

I've been learning how to really utilize the procreate app on the iPad so i can work on my illustration skills.

I've been on procreate so much it's even in my dreams! The past couple weeks have been pretty fun learning different techniques, figuring out what I'm most comfortable doing & feeling out my illustration style.

So after these past few weeks I'm finally at the point where I feel kinda comfortable really sharing my creations.

Happy Mango Monday! 🥭
