I know I am incredibly late in showing you all this, but better late than never right? Last Fall/Winter my sister Katie and my brother John wanted to make a short film about a seamstress working away in her studio, so they asked if I would be willing to be filmed. I said sure thing! Except I had a lot of work to get done, so what you are seeing is me actually doing work. Not just sewing random scraps of fabric. :) Hope you enjoy the amazing talents of my siblings! xo
p.s. i didn't dress in anything special for the camera either. i had at least one good layer of clothing under everything i was wearing. yes, my studio was freezing!
What a lovely video - I loved everything! My favorite parts perhaps where you are spritzing the cloth and ironing it or the shot of your feet (and the scraps)while you were sewing. It was all very well done - I hope we will see more from your very talented siblings!
Anna, the music accompanying this film is so haunting. I've never heard of Balmorhea and now I want to go out and buy a CD! I loved the shot of you walking across the field with the trees in the background. The whole thing was so spare and beautiful. Your siblings are very talented, as are you! Gorgeous work.
oh wow ! you talented people !!! this is moving, beautiful moving (soundtrack included). thank you to you/ your brother & sister for sharing this moment...
thank you all for the comments on this film! i will show my brother and sister this page. they will be happy to see you all liked it! :)
alissa, i think they just wanted to make a film and thought they liked the building i live in, so they decided to use my sewing as a backdrop. it was just a fun little project so they could experiment with film making. ;)
martha, they used a cannon 7d (i hope i got that right) which is what my sister uses for her work. she does a lot of filming and editing at the design firm she works for.
missblack, yep! i love those scissors. i just wish they would last longer! seems like either they only last 6 months or so before it breaks. :/ perhaps i should invest in a real heavy duty pair of shears!
valerie, yes yes indeed i am! i haven't cut my hair for at least a year. it sure takes a long time, though. it's past my shoulders a couple inches now. wish it would grow faster!
thanks again for all of your super sweet comments!
this was really beautifully done- i'd love to see more! it was fun to see you at work, since I've seen the finished product of your hands so much over the years. :)
Charming film. Your design and sewing process are so well defined in this little glimpse of your work. The perspectives in the film, as well as the music, make for nice composition.
That was AMAZING!! Honestly!! The music, mood and camera angles were all perfect. It was haunting and enchanting at the same time. What a truely talented family. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just found you via kikiclarke at blogspot! This is such a beautiful video, and speaks so much to the life of an artist. Thanks for what you are doing.
I know I'm late to commenting on this, but it is so striking and lovely that I had to add my voice to the long list of compliments. Congrats to your siblings on an incredible job, and it was really cool to get a sneak peek into your sewing process. Beautiful all around.

Oh my, this is beautiful.
This is really lovely with fantastic angles/perspectives. I'm curious why they wanted to make a short film of a seamstress?
beautiful!
Obviously talent runs in the family. What a beautiful little film. I loved watching you create your gorgeous clothes.
This is completely lovely! It makes me wish I had the space needed to sew dresses all day. I'd love to be able to do that for a living.
Beautiful, Anna. I love watching artists at work. On a side note...what kind of camera did your brother shoot this with?
