When I started this blog, I introduced myself. This is for the ones who don't want to go that far back.

I currently go to San Francisco State. My degree is going to be a Bachelors of Art in Industrial Art. It basically means I'm a design student who just gets to take whatever classes I want. I have training primarily in graphic design and animation. I also have a minor in comparative literature because I'm a glutton for punishment and I thought I should take more classes.
The Skinny:
- My name is Clara
- I am in my 20's and living in California.
- I am in college, studying graphic design and animation
The not-so skinny:
My full name is notoriously hard to google as I share it with about a billion old Jewish ladies and one intrepid movie heroine. In general I tried to make myself hard to Google. I'm fighting an uphill battle against my future profession and my current departments at school who want us to all be notable when it comes to exposure. (I'm just not 100% comfortable with it yet.)
I'm in the very beginning of my 20's and I'm absolutely sick of everyone giving me advice about being in my 20's. I hate seeing articles about "millennials" believe it or not, we actually have our shit together or at least most of us are trying. That said, I have strong feelings about lots of things such as feminism and human rights but those don't make it here, usually.
On the side, I sing with Serenata, I act with Commedia and at various faires around the state and I dance at various locations around the Bay Area. I'll post about this on occasion because a lot of my sewing projects have to do with these pursuits. I pride myself on being the kind of person who can look at something and decide to make it for themselves... and then do so. I can't crochet, salsa dance or keep a man and I play the ukulele like the MPDG I'm not supposed to be. My myers-briggs is INFP and if I threaten to murder you, it means I care.
Happy sewing, guys!
But what up with this blog?
I got into sewing because of my mom and faire but I've always been into making things. My mom is a fashion designer and I had amazing halloween costumes throughout my childhood. While I didn't quite try to follow in her footsteps I did find myself being forced to make costumes in order to keep up with my unfortunate Renaissance Faire habit. Since I spend so much time on the internet anyway trying to figure out how to craft an easy bodice or do proper gathering for a skirt, I figured I'd add to the resources for other poor wannabe seamstresses who might want some help from someone struggling as much as they are.Happy sewing, guys!
