The Art Of Happy Clothing
My passion is taking old fabrics and garments, deconstructing them, and letting them form organically into new, beautiful, long-lasting new clothing.
I've always worked intuitively with fabrics and natural materials, and have found ways to make clothing extremely unique, expressive, fun and celebratory - even healing.
I focus on the sensual qualities of fabrics, hand-sewn details, durability of structures and the free-ing fit of an exceptional garment....
I often sew outdoors, using the activity of the handsewn as a means of connection - of reminding others about deeper values and beauty in clothing...
I love taking apart special older fabric items, and making them into new and unique garments (as you see to the left: dresses made out of old sheets and tablecloths,, coat made out of old jeans): you can find out more about this via my #needleworkmonday posts on the Hive.blog
Making one's own clothing can be a dynamic process of transformation, and choosing extra-special clothing - in which the attention to detail and functionality is way above the average - can be a profoundly liberating act.
I offer the handmade garments that I create In Gift to a select group of folks who support me.
My reimagined clothing is shown and sold in select private pop-up events: join my mailing list via the CONNECT PAGE, to find out more.
