When I'm not daydreaming, I spend my time designing clothes for myself, obsessing over fashion, teaching sewing at First Samples , organizing with the Austin Craft Mafia , co-producing the Stitch Austin fashion show & craft fair and co-hosting a TV Show on the DIY Network called Stylelicious (airs Tuesday and Thursdays at 1:00 Central).
