My name is Memory, and I have been selling my clothing since the summer of 2004. My daughter was six months old, and, I knew I didn't want to put her in daycare. Selling wearable art seemed like a great way to be there for her, and to support the both of us. As time went on, I fell in love and our little family grew. In the fall of 2006, with the love and support of my amazing husband, I registered my business and launched this website, which is a never ending work in progress. The entire journey has been absolutely amazing and so educational.
What began as a "make ends meet" venture has turned me into a full time artesian, and given me new appreciation for all the handcrafted items in the world. It also allows me fully enjoy my family life, and always be available to them. I truly love what I do, and I love passing on one of a kind clothing to all kinds of wonderful people.
Some days as I peruse the local quilt shop I imagine kind souls dancing at a festival, and I pick each fabric to create the perfect piece of clothing to match the music, sunshine and good vibes.
Other times, my more serious side shows through and I get lost in a bucket of liquid color as I hand dye hemp and organic cottons right here in my mountain home. When they’re colored, washed and dried I stitch them up into new designs to further expand my ever growing clothing line. Each piece from my line will be custom dyed in the color of your choice, and sewn to your specific measurements. Find the perfect piece for a day at work or a night on the town.
If you love what I do, but don’t see something that’s quite what you want (or it’s just not your size), send me an email and we can work together to make it happen!
Regardless of the fabric or my creative whims, all my supplies are purchased with the environment, fair trade, and local businesses in mind. Hemp fabrics are purchased from a fair trade supplier. Quilters cottons are purchased from local, individually owned quilt shops. Finally, the dyes I use are permanent but low impact, so they are friendly to the environment.
I rely strongly on word of mouth and networking, so if you like what you see, please spread the word! If you are interested in staying updated, please join the mailing list or look me or my company up on one of the social networking sites listed above.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, and have an adventurous day!
