    • Finished, not washed

    If you dream in color, you have to live in color.

    I was trained to be a graphic designer, but I learned, too late, that it was a desk job! I couldn't sit still all day. Somehow I was led into textiles and found happiness standing up to work!

    And the colors! I wanted to wrap myself in my creations and you can't really do that with paper. So I put my work on fabric and now I can wear it and so can you. You'll see some of the work I still do on paper and canvas, but my heart is with being wrapped up in silk. And now you can wrap yourself in colorful silk, too.

    I lay my white fabrics flat on my worktable and paint them with big brushes, using the dyes like watercolors. I also silk screen patterns on the fabrics with resist to get more layers of pattern. Sometimes, I paint them with fabric paints after the dyes.

    After the fabrics are washed out and ironed, they get cut and sewn into scarves and garments. I make all my scarves from yardage. There are no scarf blanks out there in the fabrics I use, so you can only find them at my Esty store.

    The designs are my original creations, too. I hope they make my customers feel like dancing.

    Welcome to SandraSilk.

    I make everything by hand in the studio. I care about the quality of the garment and the fabric it is made from. Many of these styles are generous or stretchy and fit many body types. If you have special needs for fit, please consult with me.
    My great pleasure is when our customers are happy in their new clothes. I will do everything possible to make that happen. These fine fabrics are easy to care for. Most can be hand washed and ironed. Some can go in the washing machine. The particulars are noted with every item.

    I am responsible for all the artwork. I hate to be bored, so I am always making work of some kind. The art is first and last. In between, I have to get dressed, so I make silk for us to wear.

    Shipping
    I ship via USPS Priority Mail and First Class within the US and via USPS Priority International and First Class International (airmail) for international orders. Most items ship for between $8.00 and $18.00 depending on weight. I ship on Tuesdays and often on Fridays. If you need the item ASAP, please let me know. There might be an additional charge, if it requires a special trip to the post office.

    Items sent via Priority Mail includes delivery confirmation. I am not responsible for items lost in the mail so please request insurance if desired. I am also not responsible for customs fees incurred during shipment.

    I ship WORLDWIDE. most lightweight items qualify for our super-low $18.50 flat shipping rate. The shipping rates for heavier items are calculated according to weight. Please contact me for an exact shipping rate. Some shipping destinations require using USPS Express Mail to guarantee delivery. It is expensive, but it arrives!

    I love to combine shipping! Items must be purchased within a 6 day time period. For most lightweight items sent within the US, add $4 for each additional item. For lightweight items sent internationally, add $6 for each additional item.
    Additional policies and FAQs
    I welcome custom orders. I work on many fabrics and in many colors. Please contact me with your inquiries. I am happy to customize sizes for you. Wedding parties are one of my specialties.

    At this time,I am accepting wholesale orders in my studio. The wholesale minimum sale is $300. Please contact me for the possibility of wholesale ordering.

    All of these fabrics are colorfast for wearing and washing. I use industry standard fiber reactive dyes. The hand (softness) of the fabric is unchanged.

    I do not recommend dry cleaning because it degrades the silk fibers. However, all of these fabrics are colorfast for dry cleaning.
