[on the Langjökull glacier]
I’m Jen. I live in Chicago where I work as a patternmaker and run my clothing line, hound. Here on grainline you will find much about sewing, some about knitting, various other projects and goings on in my life. I hope to add more sewing patterns for download soon as well! Besides sewing I enjoy riding my bikes, visiting my parent’s cottage in the northwoods of Wisconsin, reading and running. I am also gluten-free so if you have any recipes you want to share, send them my way!!!!
some frequently asked questions
▲ Did you go to school for fashion? Yes. I originally got my BFA in Photography from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign but realized that wasn’t what I really wanted to do. After I graduated from UIUC I worked for 2 years to save up money and then attended Columbia College Chicago for a 3 year Post-Bacc and graduated with a degree in Fashion Design.
▲ What kind of sewing machine / serger / etc. do you use? My sewing machine is a Bernina Aurora 435 and my serger is a Bernina 700D. I love them both.
