100 Days of Sewing or Stoning
I'm a creative+, a dancer, a dreamer and a cancer patient in remission who decided to spend 100 days learning to sew, stitch by stitch, day by day.Some days I'm upcycling sweaters into soft beanies for patients still in treatment.Some days I'm bedazzling everything in sight.
Some days I'm just trying not to sew my fingers together.My project is broken down into 4 fun subcategories! The Cozy Quest, The Thigh-Rise Upcycle, @rhinestoned.uso, and Miss Elle Ayenious! :)This is the journey. You're invited.

The Remix Stitch Project
Sub-Categories.
All the projects for my sewing will be MOSTLY put into these categories:All things Beanies will be The Cozy Quest 🧡Cheek-a-boo Bags are The Thigh-Rise Upcycle 💼All things Rhinestones will be @rhinetoned.uso ✨and Miss Elle Ayenious is self explanatory! 🪩
The Cozy Quest
An Act of Love from a Cancer Patient in Remission
During chemo, I spent hours with a cold, bald head
in a hospital that felt anything but warm.
Now in remission, I'm turning that memory into action.Every beanie is made from upcycled sweaters,
stitched during my 100-day challenge,
and delivered to patients who need a little extra warmth.🎯 GOAL: 30 beanies for local cancer patients
✅ [3] beanies completed
🚚 [0] beanies deliveredSponsor a beanie HERE!!
The Thigh-Rise Upcycle
Rise above fast fashion. Literally.
The bags fund the project.Every denim side bag, satchel, and purse I make from old jeans helps cover the materials for the Cozy Quest. And yeah — every pocket stays fully functional.Because a bag that can't hold your secrets (or your pen) is just pure decoration.Bags cannot be reproduced, so when you see it, get it! I'm also open to commission one for you.
@rhinestoned.uso
The joy between stitches.When the sewing machine needs a break, the rhinestones come out. This is where the sparkle lives — dedicated to the bedazzle, the glitter, and the unapologetic joy of making things shine.[@rhinestoned.uso on Instagram]
Miss Elle Ayenious
Because random moments always happen.
When I'm not inspired by a beanie, a bag or sparkle, I work on miscellaneous projects that still help my overall goal to get better at sewing.The projects here are mostly inspired by random things "I think" will help with my sewing journey (ie. handstitching, needle point, designing)She could be serving looks, a bookmarked, a lava lava, but one things for sure, she's Miss Elle Ayenious!(Although this is my puppy jake below with his cute Birthday Bow-Tie!)
