5 out of 5 starsCould not be any happier! 10+ stars! I had an idea on what I wanted with this sleeveless linen coat and Sharon nailed it. LOVE the trim she thought would be best with it too. She is my 'go-to' when I have something I want made! Picture doesn't do it justice!

5 out of 5 starsI love this! It fits really well. RoughGreenEdges even put it on and took a picture of it so I could see how it would fit (and if it would fit me). Timely delivery, wrapped nice & nice note included. Would certainly not be afraid to order again. I will follow her page for future items.

About RoughGreenEdges
-
6/2011 1st set up of the Rough Green Edges Pop Up Shop... in our home driveway! Baby clothes under 12 mo. was my plan
-
Our focus had changed from baby clothes to more bohemian styles for women and children by 2014
-
RGE in the city! 2015 Mississippi Street Fair in Portland, Oregon. Yep, that's me, proud designer/owner!
-
By 2018 the lure of Renaissance costuming resulted in Rough Green Edges becoming a period costume source as well.
-
Making one of a kind garments by assembling and re-purposing preowned textiles remains a constant a decade later. 2020
Filling a Gap
Rough Green Edges was born in 2010 out of my daughter-in-law's dissatisfaction with the types and colors of baby clothes available in stores. From a favorite tee shirt we crafted the first trendy colored infant tee dress with a black silk screened silhouette in one lower corner - not your usual baby attire - which became the foundation design for RGE.
The abundance of great quality fabric's available at rummage/garage/estate sales and thrift stores is mind boggling! Using these fabrics allows me to make boutique quality alternative fashions affordable and be part of the growing earth conscious economy.
Within a year Rough Green Edges inventory of one-of-a-kind baby clothes expanded to include items for kids up to 12 years old. The transition to adult refashions began during the 2012 Christmas season!
Rough Green Edges first sales were made at Klamath Falls Farmers Market in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Since then RGE has attended markets throughout Oregon and Northern California. In December 2013 I decided to try Etsy and within two weeks I had my first Etsy sale and became an international seller!
Until 2018 I continued to attend markets and fairs within a 400 mile radius of Klamath Falls as well as offer my designs on Etsy. During 2018 my husband and I sold our house in Klamath Falls, Oregon and moved 250 miles Northwest to little town of Woodburn, Oregon in the Willamette Valley- which is a 30 minute drive to the metro area of Portland, Oregon - the states only big city.
Rough Green Edges has evolved from a converted guest bedroom to re-purposed backyard shed to a workshop/showroom in Klamath Falls and an Etsy shop and now to a custom built workroom in my new home. Sale locations have expanded from a pop-up spot at a local farmers market (Klamath Falls Farmers Market is one of the best ones in the state of Oregon) to include Renaissance Faires, Highland Games and guest spots in Portland art collectives and Recycled Art events in the Willamette Valley.
Nine years later I still love creating unique costumes and one of a kind garments! Personally seeing the joy of customers when they find the RGE garment that speaks to their heart is extremely rewarding at the live venues and events!
Conversations with customers often inspire me to create new and different fashions and recycled/up-cycled accessories.
As 2020 approaches my focus will be on building up a more robust Etsy presence. I appreciate all my customers and returning patrons! I hope they will transition to buying online!

I'm addicted to what I do and I know it when I get testy when I don't get to spend uninterrupted time in my workshop. It's not working to me. Envisioning, designing and assembling my creations is just enjoying myself ~ for hours on end!
