When I started sewing in High School, i was almost bored by it. I quickly grew frustrated and bored with using commercial patterns. I realized that this was my opportunity to fix one of the biggest irritations of my life... I HATED SHOPPING! I hated it because I couldn't find anything I liked, and I also didn't love the thought of there being thousands of people who would have the same thing as me.

So, I began designing and making my own clothes. I began designing for other people and shortly after I had my first child in 1998 I began following bands like Widespread Panic, Phish, String Cheese Incident, to name a few. I made clothes, shoved them all into my tiny Mustang and, with baby son in tow (now 20+ years, and the addition of a daughter who also traveled alongside years later) took them to the shows. I did this for several years. In or around 2004 I took a respite from travelling and began working from my home.

In 2007, I decided that I wanted to further my knowledge and go to school to learn more about my trade. In 2010 I graduated Valedictorian Fashion Design and Merchandising from International Academy of Design and Technology in Nashville. Since then I have done many exciting and wonderful things including unnumbered custom designed projects for many beautiful and talented people
. I still focus most of my energies into the casual clothes that you will find in my shop.

I picked back up on my travels, taking my clothes around the country exploring new avenues of personal expression, becoming more involved with festivals as a progenitor not just an experiencer. Finding a great love with transformational festivals and the joy of finding a full expression of the essence of your being, no matter what that manner of communication is. Dance, art, flow arts, music, vocal expression, or any other manner beyond. In the end, Through my extensive travels, journeys, and desires At the root of it all is my love for the most primal and universal language of all, music.

I am truly blessed to live a full life with my life partner, my adult son, and my teenage duaghter in full support and confidence of this endeavor every day. Nothing in this world makes me happier than knowing that I am doing what makes me, those around me, and those who wear my designs, happy. I love seeing people smile when they put on their clothes From the SOL. I am blessed and thankful that I have this opportunity to work from home where my beautiful family gives me all the support and nurturing that a woman can ask for.

And I'm thankful most of all to all of you, my customers and friends for making this possible!
Thank you and Have a beautiful day!
