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!
