About Fashion by Liz Fashion by Liz was created by me, Liz, a 16-year-old girl from a small town in North Texas. I'd been looking for a job for months, but couldn't find one because no one liked my odd hours effected by my rigorous extra-curricular schedule. After having to exclude myself from far too many activities or trips due to my lack of funds, I decided to create my own source of revenue. It was my choice how many hours I worked and how much I got paid. And so came the creation of Fashion by Liz.
My first actual sewing experience came in October of 2011. For Halloween that year, I wanted to be Athena, the Greek goddess of war, but all of the store-bought costumes were too close to "love goddess." I decided to make my own costume, which turned out looking like a female Spartan warrior outfit. I had successfully taught myself to sew, and I was quite good at it. I didn't even use a pattern! After that costume, I began watching YouTube tutorials and obsessing over craft blogs that would teach me cute projects I could test my new-found skills on. I started creating my own patterns and techniques, and now I've got a whole new set of creative tactics. Now I have my own clothing shop and I'm on my way to bigger and better things. Check out The Shoppe and see if you can find something you like! Better yet, I'll be more than happy to create something new and original just for you! Much love, Liz |
