“Every Day I’m Bustlen”: my first sticker design.

Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been creating and designing using different mediums my whole life, although my “day job” is in the performing arts where I have worked in costuming (tailor/draper, designer, and manager) for 20 years.

Throughout my career, I developed various tools to help me stay organized. As I perfected them, I realized that other costume folk would probably also love them as much as I do, so I started exploring ways to share them with the community.

My first venture was on Spoonflower with my sew-on, write-in costume labels. Inspired by my hobby of cross-stitch, I expanded my labels to include snarky write-in labels for all fabric/fiber projects, as well as embroidery hoop backs.

During the 2020 COVID pandemic, I got back into doing digital art, and my snarky sewing and costume themed sticker line was born. After trying several platforms over the years, my art is now exclusively available through my Etsy shop and Redbubble.

Working in costume management I developed many spreadsheet templates and other forms that have made the flow for both myself and my teams a lot smoother. I have templates for everything from measurement forms to budget sheets, with more on the way! Available exclusively in my Etsy shop, my instant download templates are compatible with Excel, Sheets, and PDF formats.
