Planning a project is often the best part for me. I enjoy choosing the materials, thinking about it, and then putting ideas to paper.

A mixture of ethereal fabric and felted 'brooch' that is attached (by felting) to the scarf. Thanks to Lisbeth @Lisbeth.Wahl.fiberart for teaching the workshop where I made this. I still want to add beads and a some securing stitches. #felt #nunofelt #create #wearableart #isew

This is one of my favorite tools as it allows me to pick up pins from every random corner of my studio. It has a telescoping arm so can reach far and deep.

I believe I took this photo related to Inspiration at Pitti Filati, a yarn trend show in Florence. Let's just say it is inspiring creativity. #creativity #inspiration #icreate #design #creativeeveryday

Buttons.... Not only are they utilitarian, they can be used for art. I believe I took this photo at the Biennale in Venice a few years ago. I have a HUGE button collection and some art projects in mind.

Here is another print design. This one was inspired by the squiggly lines on a street near my house, where they repaired cracks in the road. I'm now waiting for the print to arrive from https://t.co/zGaRG2s0U9 #textiledesign #digitalprinting #surfacedesign #fabric #creativity

I am working towards a zero-waste design. This is all the fabric I have left after cutting out the top.. and I'm determined to use more of it. Stay tuned.

When serging, I find it is so much better to use clips (as opposed to pins). Less chance of running over one. #isew #sewover50 #patternmaking #garmentdesignersoftware #cochenilledesignstudio #memade #serger #sewing

Latest Garment Designer project. The fabric was a gift from textile artist @pamfarleyaustin. It was dyed blue, then discharged with chlorine, then printed with silkscreen and stamped. #textileart #garmendesignersoftware #susanlazear #surfacedesign #isew #design #wearableart

This was a quick sew project over the long weekend. A Garment Designer pattern project modeled after a friend's top. I'd like to make it again with a better fabric.. this one was very lightweight. But the color is 'me'. #garmentdesignersoftware #sewover50 #memade

This is one of my favorite tools... a bias tape maker. I use it to create custom bias to be used to encase an edge or face a neckline. Do you have a favorite tool? #biastapemaker #isew #design #garmentdesignersoftware #memade #Icreate #dritz #sewing
