Love what you do
My passion is sewing and creating. I was born at 10lbs 13oz and have been a thick, or fat person all my life. It wasn’t until I started to embrace that I was different and could dress differently if I just created my own wears. Plus I’m an athlete so super thick thighs and arms with a bust size of 44DDD. This has made everything extremely hard to fit or to buy.

Modular Design Application in Lingerie Patterns
My name is Sydney, and it is a privilege to be able to talk in depth about my project and aspiring small business that applies the use of scissors. Since I was a teen, I struggled with body dysmorphia and a lack of body positivity. Through my Instagram account, I have documented and shared hundreds of nude self portraits and have found my artistic practice deeply intermeshed with the intersections of body culture and sexual expression and the internet. I find transparency around my feelings promotes more love for myself, and over time, have inspired many others to feel the same.

Cutting the fabric of the future
My name is Danielle Elsener and I am a Zero Waste Systems Designer. I design and make garments that use 100% of fabric in their creation through intuitive pattern making. I love to create; to delve into the nitty gritty of construction and embrace the tacit knowledge that comes with years of manipulating material.

So far, my life has just been sew, sew great!
I may not have been born with a pair of scissors in my hand, but it didn‘t take them long to get there. I remember cutting out simple shapes of little girls holding hands, then unfolding them to reveal a magical string of paper dolls! This led to more sophisticated shapes of one-of-a-kind paper dolls, followed by extravagant wardrobes, consisting mostly of ball gowns!

Aurilla Shop - Product Review (Jewellery)
Aurilla Shop is definitely living up to the 'be classy' name in an affordable manner. There are no longer any excuses not to wear some quality jewellery that isn't cheap. For example, the rings are gold plated, and Aurilla makes that statement clear as mud on their website.

Cut Up and Twisted
People often ask me how I came up with my business of making hand made cut up clothing - using just a pair of scissors and my hands, that story goes way back. As a Mexican and Pakistani girl growing up with a big family in El Monte, CA I was constantly dancing, entertaining, and creating art. I never thought I would be a business owner, but this path chose me. Out of college I was ready to start my career as an electrical engineer. I got a job at a big corporate company and was ready to fully adult.... or so I thought. Within a few months I quickly realized that the monotony of a 9-5 office job was not for me.

No Older Than Five
In a waiting room of seven, a young boy held his pencil with an assured stillness,as he mindfully drew a creation on his paper. He was quiet and patient; which was quite impressive, because he couldn't have been any older than five years old. We all sat in this room seeing what fun our minds could create, searching for distraction from stillness, but this young man found peace in creating his drawing. Another fifteen minutes passed by and surprisingly he broke the silence.
