wearables
I enjoy making a variety of small gifts and wearables in my free time.
I sell most of my wearables and other hand-made items at a lovely shop called
Local Folk Creative Studio in Kutztown, PA,
You may also inquire with me directly via email.
Please note: this website provides examples of pieces I have made, but inventory is constantly changing.
Grandma's Tablecloth Aprons
One-of-a-kind. Made by hand, with vintage tablecloths.
Process: After scouring markets to find vintage fabric, much care goes into rehabilitating it. Stains are removed and color is restored. There may be anomalies in the fabric, which I see as charming. Next, accent fabrics are chosen to complement the vintage tablecloth fabric. Then, assembly. Last, custom details are added with care.
I wonder if dinners were lovingly served on these linens, like those served by my Grandma Louise. Wow, could she cook! Sunday dinner was passed from person to person over her neatly ironed tablecloth.
Reversible Quilt Jackets
One-of-a-kind.
Made one at a time.
Made by my hands,
using repaired, upcycled materials.
Process: Each jacket is a beautiful surprise. I make these jackets one at a time so I can be strategic about the look of both sides. I custom make bias tape to join the jacket. And, as an act of resistance for all women, I add plenty of pockets!
These jackets have generous sizing. Try them on to find the best fit for your beautiful shape.
They are so soft and cozy. Can be worn inside and outside of the home.
