Creating makes my soul sing!!!!
I've been sewing for many years- starting out in middle school with a home ex class. I will not brag on my letter D pillow or my ugly shorts but there was a fire ignited in me!! I loved it and wanted to figure out how to make everything!! However those patterns!!!! Oh no- I'm done!!!!
So it took a few years before I realized I didn't need those confusing patterns to sew!!!
At my one and only Grateful Dead show (with Jerry) I started talking to these beautiful ladies about their gorgeous clothes they made!!! I wanted to make these!!! I went home and started sewing and making my own patterns. It was challenging- the seam ripper was my best friend for awhile- Luckily I found several friends whose mothers sewed and they took the time & showed us short cuts- do this don't do this kind of stuff & it was AMAZING!! Before long we were sewing and wearing all our own creations!! We were so proud!! After that I hit the road- sewing when I could- selling my wears- just trying to make enough to make it to the next town/show!!
Once I settled down I started expanding what I can do- making hand-dyed hemp/silk wedding gowns, clothe diapers for my babes, Waldorf dolls/mermaids, cases for musical instruments and the list goes on & on.
Over the past few years I've been loving creating wears out of vintage fabrics & already loved clothing!!
Recycling all these beautiful fabrics is so fun!! I spend hours in thrift stores imaging deconstructing clothes and what I may turn them into!! I have bins and bins of knit T-shirts, sweaters, skirts, tank tops, old sheets, old curtains, random lace things, trim I've cut off an old skirt, buttons I've saved... I do my best to use every part of what I cut up!! Piecing things together to make one of a kind wearable art is soooo fun!!! I love what I do!! Can't wait to have a big studio in our new home so I can have a dining room again!!!
Luckily I have an amazing husband and three children that don't seem to mind if mamas work is everywhere!!!!
Sewing makes my soul sing!!! I love creating!!! I hope you enjoy my wears as much as I enjoy making them!!! Enjoy my shop!!
Love ❤️and Light🌟~~Dayna
