In a linen dress I made a few years back...wearing white after Labor Day! 😱 Shocking! Paired here with a leather bomber jacket and #stevemadden heel.

In the mood for fall. My new favorite draped top in a ponte knit with leather geographic logo is a great transition piece. Here paired with #hm 'Super Skinny, Super Low' jeans in black and a Michael Kors boot. #michaelkorsshoes #draped #knit #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionpost #fashiondesigner #fun #transition #fall #denver #denverfashion #fabric #instagood #instafashion #instamood #whatimade #fromwhereistand #ootd #potd #outfitoftheday #love #cutandsew

My latest ponte knit logo top in second color story. Camel color with #colorado logo in orange suede. Perfect transition piece to fall. Paired here with skinny jean and what will probably be one of my favorite boots for fall by BCBG. #denver #denverfashion #fall #fashion #fashionpost #lookbook #cutandsew #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #fashionblogger #fun #love #live #carmen #design #draped #follow #fromwhereistand #handmade #instafashion #instagood #mylookbook #ootd #outfitoftheday #whatimade #bcbgshoes

A little #autismawareness from this designing #autismmom. I write notes for my daughter because visuals are always easier for my child to process and comprehend. This is the note she'll see on her nightstand in the morning. A friendly reminder that tomorrow is a computer-free day. Many kids on the #autismspectrum have brilliant computer skills because ASD kids take in 1000x more stimuli in an hour versus their neurotypical counterparts, therefore what they absorb coming from a computer screen is 1000x more intense. Too much of a good thing is NOT a good thing, which is why we limit GOOD THINGS in our household. More work for mommy means better brain development for my child, and she's worth it! #autism #autismisforreal #aspergerssyndrome #brilliantminds #therealbeautifulpeople #autismparents #specialneedsparenting #specialneedsparents

I should save these pix for tomorrow's #tbt, but as distracted as I get--too much going on at once--I may forget. Here, my youngest daughter (my little tomboy) and me in one of my dresses from 2-3 years ago. #Coach gladiator heel...one of my favorite shoes. Poppy was tired...I think this was Easter and we'd just had an egg hunt. #satin #dress #handmade #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #fashionblogger #fblogger #cutandsew #lookbook #love #daughter #memories #mylookbook #fun #familytime #follow #instamood #ootd #potd #whatimade #whatiwore

Love is in the details when it comes to good design. My favorite part of my latest pant design is the fly-style zipper on the inside of each leg. Gives a slight flare to a straight leg, plus the inside placket is of a contrasting fabric. The zipper also adds weight and makes the pant feel luxurious. #loveisinthedetails #sexy #sexypant #style #love #perfectpant #design #fashion #fashiondesigner #fashiondesign #bikerpants #jeans #fromwhereistand #ootd #outfitoftheday #potd #photooftheday #privatelabel #cutandsew #lookbook

See previous post for description. Back view here features contrasting pocket and criss-cross whipstitching along yoke seam. These are my favorite pant cut so far. Plan to make many versions! #pants #jeans #trousers #handmade #fashiondesigner #fashion #fashionblogger #cutandsew #chic #sexy #love #style #privatelabel #carmen #designer #fabric #ootd #outfitoftheday #potd #perfectpant #sexy #photooftheday #lookbook #whatiwore #whatimade

My latest biker jean completed (ignore my wrinkled top--I didn't wear this version out). Made of wax-coated velvet with contrasting pockets and waistband. These "hug you like your mother" yet feel sexy AND comfy, which equals ah-mazing! Total of 25 hours to complete this sample. Fashion design is not rocket science, but good design is time-consuming and we all know the details are what count! #pants #waxcoated #jeans #cutandsew #perfectpant #privatelabel #potd #fashion #fashiondesigner #fashioninspiration #fashionblogger #lookbook #love #mylookbook #ootd #outfitoftheday #inspiration #instapic #instasew #whatiwore #whatimade #style #chic

More trousers in the making. My fabric choice is a wax-coated olive green velvet...not for everyone, and certainly not easy to stitch. But I have my tricks! And I like a challenge! 😉#trousers #pants #designerinprocess #artisticflow #fabric #waxcoated #velvet #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #fashionaccount #handmade #instasew #instadaily #instafollow #love #lookbook #mylookbook #chic

My latest faux sheepskin can be styled many ways. Not that I'm rushing summer--heavens no!--but looking forward to wearing this out on a crisp, fall night. Here paired with #hm super skinnies, a Forever 21 shirt and Michael Kors open toe patent leather booties. #fauxfur #jacket #fall #style #fashion #fashiondesigner #fashionblogger #ootd #outfitoftheday #potd #picoftheday #instapic #instasew #instafashion #whatiwore #cutandsew #custom #handmade
