This quarantine business is not easy for me. I am not good at sitting still or staying home, so I’ve had to find ways of doing both of those things over the last few months. I ended up (like so many other folks) doing some home improvement, and I found the perfect piece of clothing for all my projects - my Princess Awesome super twirler dresses! They’re super comfortable, light and airy, make me feel confident, and the huge, deep pockets hold all my tools and hardware.
We put an addition on our house 18 months ago. None of the bedroom or hall closets were finished - so, I finished them! Here I am in my "Blueberry Pi" math dots dress.
The pockets are big enough so that I can keep my wrench and screwdriver on one side and my tape measure in the other (along with all the hardware!).
Once the pool was up, we also needed a locked gate. I built that in my “I Spy Pi” dress.
When Father’s Day rolled around last week, I pulled out my screwdriver and put on my “Fossils Forever” dinosaurs dress, all set to follow just 64 steps to a new gas grill for my dear husband. Good news: I didn’t blow myself up.
When it was all set up, we opened up the box of grill tools and discovered none of them had hanger loops.
“We’ll have to take them back,” I said to my daughter.
“No, Mom! Dad has to have his tools for grilling tomorrow. We can just drill holes into the handles,” she replied, and she went to get the drill.
Like mother - like daughter. That’s my girl!

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
Princess Awesome is so proud to partner with Women in Aviation International to sponsor a design contest during the summer of 2023. We are looking for your awesome ideas for new clothing that features airplanes, helicopters, engineering concepts, schematics - anything that has to do with aviation.
