Hey! Welcome to Adopt Your Clothes. My name is Carmen and I’m a passionate sewist who loves making (and sometimes refashioning!) my own clothes. Sewing has been a major game changer in my life. It has changed the way I feel about my clothing and my body. I especially love taking the extra time to make each piece beautiful inside and out! That’s why I created Adopt Your Clothes! As a way to share my love of sewing and help you create gorgeous, well-fitting pieces to add to your wardrobe too!
