Merrick's Art

I'm a blogger, stylist, seamstress, clothing designer, and proud mom of three boys, happily married and based in North Dallas, Texas. I launched Merrick’s Art in 2008 while pursuing my art degree in college. After welcoming my first child in 2010, I found a passion for sewing. For a couple of years, I focused on refashioning clothes, starting with simple projects. It took me a while to gain the confidence to create garments from scratch, but with each endeavor, I improved, even though I had to discard plenty of my early attempts! Nothing excites me more than the process of designing and crafting beautiful clothing. Throughout my journey, I became a style writer for platforms like Babble Style and SheKnows.com, and contributed to Jo-Ann’s sewing blog for several years. Over time, I developed a passion for curating outfits and empowering women to feel confident while shopping and dressing for their bodies. HERE ARE A FEW RESOURCES YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL: Sign up for my FREE 5-day Wearable Wardrobe Guide, designed to help you identify your style, refresh your closet, and create outfits that truly reflect who you are. I also have numerous posts on WHAT TO WEAR for various events, along with a weekly series called 4 Ways to Wear It, featuring outfit ideas centered around a single piece. Last year, I introduced seasonal style guides, which have been very well-received and considered some of my most valuable content! Additionally, I offer beginner and intermediate sewing tutorials, and for those interested in learning to sew, I created an online course called The Modern Girl’s Guide to Sewing. In 2019, I launched my own clothing line, the Merrick White Collection, featuring super comfortable, casual dresses perfect for everyday wear.

Every summer, there’s that one piece I reach for again and again—and this year, it’s this blue and white striped button-up. It’s lightweight, breathable, and easy to throw on with anything. I’m always looking for pieces that can do a little bit of everything, and this striped linen blend button-up has been a go-to for me this spring.
