The NEW Winter Blogilates Target Drop just landed, and I put together a full review from a 20+ year seamstress perspective, what’s new, what’s changed, what improved, and whether the pieces are actually worth your money.

This drop has new colors (including a gorgeous maroon!), updated silhouettes, and some smart fixes to designs that flopped in previous releases. I also share longevity tips, what to avoid, and which items I think will hold up best long-term.

If you follow my sewing/upcycling reviews, you’ll recognize a few improvements that match the exact fixes I made earlier this year 👀

The full video premieres today at 4:30 PM!
I’d love to hear: which colorway are you excited about?

Exciting news! 🎉
I’ll be offering on-site mending & tailoring services at the upcoming Professional Clothing Swap hosted by Space Swap at Groundswell Startups on October 9th.

If you find a great suit, blouse, or dress that needs a little tweaking, I’ll be there to help with:
✅ Hemming pants, skirts, and dresses (lined & unlined)
✅ Repairing seams, rips, and tears
✅ Replacing or adding buttons
✅ Shortening sleeves

Many professional suits and blazers are lined, which can take more tailoring work—I’ve built that into the mending menu so you know exactly what to expect.

This event is all about sustainable fashion, professional style, and extending the life of high-quality clothing. Let’s keep business attire out of the landfill and in rotation for people who need it most.

📅 Date: October 9th
📍 Location: Groundswell Startups

I’ll have my full Professional Mending Menu available at the event. Come by, swap some professional pieces, and get them fitted just right! 👔✨
