The very first piece from my dressmaking endeavour! I'm onto my third piece now, and along the way, I find that I've really relished the opportunity to design and have everything go exactly my way (or you can say I get to unleash my inner control freak).

"My personal belief is if you are making something by hand then that itself is a political act. We are living in a disposable society and we have so much being thrown at us of how we're supposed to live and how our house is supposed to look and what we're supposed to wear, and so when you are stepping away from that and taking control over your life to make something yourself, I believe that's a very quiet political act."
