Mel is a Filipino-Australian Visual Artist currently based in the USA. Her work consists of comics, animations, illustration and zines, typically featuring cute and sassy plus-size babes! We approached Mel for this project as we're long time fans and absolutely love her comic book style illustration which is so fun and empowering! We knew she would be able to translate our intention through her illustrations seamlessly and that these graphic style labels will look amazing when sewn into any finished project!

Our hopes are that these labels will inject lots of fun energy into everyone's upcoming sewing projects and serve as a reminder of all the lovely things from creating garments that don't require a bra (the best!) to embracing our bodies, and just being playful in life in general!

Mel Stringer x KATM's label collaboration 'Feeling Yourself' is all about sexy sewing, feeling yourself and loving your body! Happy Dances forever!
