I designed and sewed this custom quinceanera gown for my beloved cat Ponette’s 15th birthday celebration. Her party photos were later featured in Cosmopolitan, and many other places like MTV, D-List, and DailyMail. Ponette’s special birthday event inspired the cat quinceanera memes that you see today.

I designed and sewed Ponette a justice robe and jabot (necklace) in the spirit of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Figuring out how to make the intricate beaded Jabot was very challenging.

I made this Mary Poppins costume for my cat Ponette, including the little carpetbag, sculpting and painting the umbrella, and the challenging task of finding the perfect yarn and figuring out the stitch to knit the scarf.
