Thanks so much for visiting. I love to create and design ~ have been for over 10 years. Every piece of clothing is serged and top stitched where needed, all appliqués are heat bonded, stabilized and satin stitched, embroidery is sewn with a stabilizer. I wash and dry the fabric before I sew, everything is machine wash/dry unless otherwise stated. I use quality hemp for all necklaces and most glass is hand blown by a friend. Any questions, email me at woodidawgs [!at] earthlink.net I'm proud to be part of the Etsy Texas Crafters!
