about Patti

Here is a bit of my back story:  in the year I was five years old, my mother sent one of my dolls to her mother in Denver.  She was an accomplished needle woman.  My mom asked her to make a set of clothes for this doll. 
On Christmas morning that year I opened a box under the tree and there was my doll wIth a number of outfits.  It was a revelation, that my grandmother could make  clothes for dolls, from her imagination!  It planted a seed in me as a child, and took root.  

I started my business in 2002.  At that time I had completed a Metal Arts course and was designing and fabricating jewelry.  I had always loved textiles as well, and had sewn clothing for myself and my family and my home all through my adult life.

When I started participating in craft shows I  realized that my customers would appreciate simple, comfortable clothing that would compliment my jewelry designs.  So I created a few styles of shirts and vests, mostly in a substantial weight linen.

It has been a wonderful experience all these years to participate in craft and quilt shows, and get to know my customers.  Now, having an online store is a new chapter for me, and I look forward to this adventure!
