SEW BROMO

When I was living in Bali, I kept a small note on my computer keyboard that read: Stay faithful to your dreams. And that’s exactly where this next era of my fashion journey begins.

Lasting Love — SEW BROMO “Do what you love,” my Uncle Peter echoed, as I drifted off into the memory of my departure. Questions swirled: Why did you leave a dream job? Did they ask you to leave? Were you terminated? No—actually, the President called me on my mobile when she heard the news and asked if there was anythi...

South-East Asia By: Stacy Stube
It is time for some strategic planning. It is easy to move by emotion but structured systemize growth is a matter of practical fact. I find myself being swayed with indecision so I will make the space to align a master plan to my dreams. A logical flow of steps and events that translate into effective implementation.

Shape Shifter by Stacy Stube
Progress takes time. Often when I launch something new I desire to see the results and question whether it will work and then back out too soon. Everything that stands takes strategic implementation. Just because you put something you care about out in the world it does not mean it will land right away.

Sketching Days By: Stacy Stube
I pulled out the sketchbook and started to draw. I am rusty in that it had probably been a few years since I intentionally sketched a garment. I have always encouraged founders to create many reference illustrations and to land on the one most likely to succeed concept. Then launch and learn by going to market to test the concept.

Chip Away By: Stacy Stube
Inspiration comes when we schedule time to find it. Often we get so distracted by the rhythm of the day that we miss our chances to discover hope. I have been meaning to start the SEW MONEY podcast to discuss the various pathways to entrepreneurship and had intended to launch it during Valentine’s day.

Great Exhibition by Stacy Stube
I have begun my research into the world of Royal dressmaking. I am less interested in who they made for but rather what and how they made fine fashion. I guess when I embarked on my fashion industry crusade, my aim was to keep sewing machines singing. Now I see it is not about the factory system but old world dressmaking that is not found in a garment factory.

Modern Flapper by Stacy Stube
I pulled the media into the editing tool and found I have been out of practice for the artist style fashion films. I tend to pair them with poems I have written to illustrate the emotions that twirl into new beginnings. I changed the method, just a bit where I watched the b-roll of moving images and then narrated the tale.

Morning Song by Stacy Stube
Let the dust settle as you have shifted the inner tides to align. Normalizing systems to set the day into motion that allow you do to the things that matter most. I have been writing the blog, producing media fashion content and spending time with family and friends. This is all a scheme to learn to be myself.

Manor Manners by Stacy Stube
Keep climbing! Even when your body feels heavy and your mind wants to turn back. Do not listen, you have to keep reaching towards the branches and hold them close to pull yourself up. There is no wrong or right way to life, but rather small choices that add up to the inches we move to prove to ourselves that we can do it.

Textile Trails by Stacy Stube
I don’t want to type today, but I will type anyway. I had another one of those mental battles. One where I could not talk myself out of the emotional frustration. Last night I was meant to gather the things for the photoshoot and film, but I instead ate a box of Valentine’s Day chocolate and drank some French red wine.
