Welcome to Autumn Fern Studio!
My name is Cass and I'm a self-taught sewer as of July 2020. Iβve enjoyed the trial-and-error approach to learning a new skill and it's been wildly amazing making accessories from store-bought fabrics and thrifted dresses.
I was inspired to take up sewing by my dear friend Britt Frost - she has a beautiful Etsy shop called Emerald and Ginger - and it quickly became a passion of mine!
With Autumn Fern Studio, you can expect colourful and functional goodies all made with my Janome Arctic Crystal sewing machine on my dining room table in Parkdale. I'm particularly passionate about thrift shopping for one of a kind fabric and repurposing clothing into something new.
I've got big plans to eventually teach myself how to make clothing and leather goods (both vegan and non-vegan!). Until then, I'm jazzed to share my totes and accessories with you on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/AutumnFernStudio
Thank you for choosing handmade! π
