Fabric And Fashion Is In My Fiber.
I've been sewing since I was three; worked in fabric shops through high school, college, and beyond; and turned my love for sewing into a carrier in fashion. Fast forward 15 years, and now I'm a Midwestern mom, but I still love fabric, fashion and designing.
As an independent designer, I know what a challenge it can be to find high quality goods without paying an arm and a leg for them. That's why I have opened Linen and Scarlet... to help independent designers and home sewers like myself find beautiful, quality goods at reasonable prices. Looking for something and can't find it? Please ask. I have an extensive network of suppliers and I may be able to help find what you've been looking for or a suitable alternative.
I chose the name Linen and Scarlet because of Proverbs 31....
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies. ...
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. ...
When in snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in SCARLET.
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine LINEN and purple. ...
She makes LINEN garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come. ....
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
(vs10,13, 21-22, 24-25,30)
