I had the immense pleasure to meet with the creator of Jitterbuggin last week. Her name is Kim and she is a complete delight! She graciously allowed me to photograph her workspace to share with you all, and fed me chips and wine while we chatted about business!
She works out of her Portland home studio making fantastic 30s and 40s reproduction pieces. While she admits she does not enjoy sewing when she is not inspired, she has a stunning vision for vintage design. Beyond bolts of fabric and cute thread lined doorways, hangs some custom made garments waiting to go out. The fabric is delicious and high quality, and all the seams and stitches are finished to perfection.
(click to enlarge.)You can find some really great wardrobe staples in Kim's shop. Blouses, trousers, swim wear and more. Now, don't you want to go check it out?

Gosh her work is so cute, that swimsuit!
I love her stuff. Her workspace is so neat and tidy, it makes mine look terrible! And her sewing chair is cute. That's so cool you got to go visit her :)

I've been eying off her stuff on etsy for ages, now. I just wish I wasn't so poor!

she's amazing! That thread above the doorway tickles me pink, what a cute idea.
I want to order some of her pants sooo bad. I think you've inspired me to save up my money hunny and do just that.
some dang good stuff =)
I just ordered a custom made sailor blouse from Kim yesterday!! She's been SUPER helpful with fabric choices, design options and measurements. What a pleasure to deal with for sure!
I must have that sewing room chair! Please ask her where she got it. I am assuming she had to modify it from something else?
Great post. I am inspired!
Totally jealous!
It must have been a really fun visit and I would have gone bonkers with all those great garments just laying around. I'll be sure to check out her site, but I think I might already have her saved in my favorites! I too LOVE the sewing chair, it's the fringe detail...yummy!
I ordered some trousers and a shirt from her a while back, she very kindly listened to my dozens of emails and trekked around to find the perfect material for me- what a star!
I could easily order everything from her shop, they are all gorgeous! xx
i want one of everything she makes.
