Announcement    hello and welcome to my shop! i make custom clothing for people who care about where their clothes come from, using only natural fibers like linen, cotton, wool and silk. i make everything myself, with one exception: the Ready-To-Ship linen smocks are made at an ethical sewing facility, GOOD Clothing CO in Massachusetts. this helps me have more stock to sell at markets and to have a few pieces in the shop that are (mostly) always available. i love helping to support the tiny garment manufacturing industry right here in New England!

learn more at my website, and sign up for my monthly newsletter to learn about where i'm teaching and what i'm up to at http://calpatch.com

most of my pieces are custom made for YOU. together we'll choose the fabric and you can send me any sizing adjustments you'd like to make. i usually have some linen smocks already made and in stock if you need a quick fix, but nearly everything else is made according to your specifications and will take at least a few weeks. Slow Fashion takes a bit of time...

wouldn't you love a cozy plaid flannel or cool linen smock dress, fleece cowl tunic or pair of bright patterned leggings for the season ahead? message me to discuss options and see my available fabrics. there's never been a better time to support small and local independent businesses.

i'm now offering crochet PDF patterns as well as finished goods. hook up your own *hodge podge* original design!

*hodge podge* is an ever-evolving collection of one-off home-grown pieces, including women's clothing and accessories. all pieces are hand made by me, and no two are ever alike. i believe in making from scratch, mending, repurposing, and leaving the tiniest footprint possible... wouldn't you like to wear something hand made with love??? i welcome custom orders too; just send me a convo.

i'm a big proponent of making your clothes yourself, (check out my book on how to draft your own sewing patterns, and see if i'm teaching near you some time soon! http://calpatch.com/classes/) but if you are not inclined, i'm here to make them for you. if you dream of a handmade wardrobe but aren't up to making it yourself, i offer *made to order* listings so you can order exactly the piece you want.

i can teach you how to make clothes! you can purchase a signed copy of my book, Design-It-Yourself Clothes, here in my shop. you may also enjoy my online workshops in pattern drafting, sewing and crochet: http://calpatch.com/online-video-classes-with-cal/

questions? just send me a convo and i'm happy to help!
