Thirteen handcrafted designs, celebrating each princess’s story before the crown.
A one-of-a-kind collection, revealed and given away piece by piece.

The Heirloom Ears are a year-long legacy project; 13 one-of-a-kind creations, each inspired by a princess’s life before the fairy tale ending. Hand-sewn with love, each pair will be given away in monthly celebrations. Collectively, they tell a story of becoming... of magic in the making.

I've always been enchanted by the elegance of the Victorian era, particularly the late 1890s; my most beloved fashion period, with the 1950s as a close second. I weave these timeless aesthetics into almost everything I create, adding a sprinkle of Disney magic and a passion for storytelling along the way. My sewing projects and imaginative designs celebrate both fashion history and fantasy, giving way to pieces that feel both timeless and wonderfully magical. The Heirloom Ears project embodies this vision, honoring the princesses before their transformations by blending fine craftsmanship with creativity to capture those precious "once upon a time" moments.

 

Beyond the ears, you'll discover my sewing blog, YouTube channel, and Pinterest boards; spaces where I share inspiration, creative lifestyle ideas, and the pure joy of handmade crafts. From behind-the-scenes glimpses of sewing projects to explorations of Disney-inspired fashion, everything here celebrates creativity and brings a little more magic into everyday life.
