Bio

I am a stay at home mom to--you guessed it--Joe. He keeps me very busy, but I find time to be creative when Joe is napping or playing with his Dad and puppy.

I love working with vintage fabrics. First of all, they are so fun to hunt for. And second, they have so much character. I love having unique fabric choices for you that you can't find anywhere else. It also feels good to rescue a piece of fabric that has been sitting around for 30-60 years and turn it into something fun and beautiful. If you see anything made with "new" fabric in my shop, it is because I already had it in my closet. I will no longer be buying anything but vintage or recycled fabric. Upcycling is the way to go!

Please check out my collection of pillow covers. They are a great way to spruce up a pillow without having to buy a whole new pillow! All of my pillow covers are double-stitched around the openings to make them very sturdy. The inside seams are all pinked to keep them from fraying.

Looking for vintage items, fabric or other supplies? Check out my new shop joemommascloset.etsy.com for all of my destash items!
