About
So, you want to know a little something about me, huh?
I live tucked away near the glacial mountains of Alaska, and I have to say that a lot of inspiration comes from what I see in my own back yard from rivers, the breeze, trees, rain, wildlife, rocks, hearing Jesus, music, as well as being a stay at home mother with two girls. I am married to a Science/ Math teacher who makes a great husband and a wonderful father, plus we girls are really lucky in the summer time to have daddy home for 3 months.
My grandmother used to make clothing for my siblings and I, and so did my mom. Handmade clothing was always around, and a dress would last through 3 girls. That says a lot for the durability, though since I was the youngest, I hated how the dresses would be faded by the time I got them. That’s one of the reasons I love hemp so much—it doesn’t fade and it gets wonderfully softer with time.
I have always had a love for clothing design, especially things that are symbolic. Having a clothing/design business makes me feel like I have more to give my girls (besides handmade hippie clothing). And I feel healthier—because I am able to express my imagination on my own canvas, cloth, turning my inward thoughts into a useable, durable, unique piece of clothing.
I take a lot of pride in my work. In fact, I love the whole process—from what color of dye I will use, to how I want the fabric to fill for each pattern I design. I encourage you look through my gallery of past clothing and find things that you like so that we can design a piece just for you that no one else will ever own. All of my clothing is surged and double stitched and topstitched and my appliqués are first fused to the fabric with webbing on the back so they will last you many, many moons. Enjoy the site and if you any Q’s send me an email, and thanks for supporting an artist!
