About smarmyclothes

Sales 3,322
On Etsy since 2008
  • No need to worry... Ghost, the Postmaster General, keeps a wary eye on the comings & goings of the Smarmy shipping dept.
  • Beware the wall of fabric. Avalanches may happen at any time.
  • The sketch...
  • The raw materials...
  • The finished product.

Rad clothing for dudettes who want to stand out in a crowd. Embrace your inner circus freak.

SmarmyClothes is a one woman circus act featuring a kaleidoscope of colors, patterns, and subcultures. Every item is designed and made by me.

I'm pretty much self-taught - by training I'm a nurse. I learned to sew in a middle school "Life Skills" class and from my mom. After learning the basic skills of sewing, it was pretty much just lots of practice from there.

I've been selling my stuff since 2003, and SmarmyClothes.com was established in January of 2005. SmarmyClothes was pretty much a hobby until I finished my bachelor's degree (for Nursing) in December of 2005, when I decided that doing fashion design full time sounded like a grand idea.

I work pretty much 7 days a week and my jerk of a boss (hey wait, that's me!) doesn't give me dick for benefits, but I still wouldn't trade my job as a starving artist for anything. I get to stay up late, sleep in, and work in my PJs.

If you're not sick of me already, you can check out my blog: http://whatthecraft.com
I'm probably posting about food as we speak.

I also sing and play bass in a punk rock band - The Extreme Unicorns.

Thanks to all of you that buy my clothes. If you didn't support SmarmyClothes, I know exactly where I'd be... (two words: stool sample). You guys rock!

    Howdy, I'm Lex! When I'm not eating lots of food or making a mess, I juggle the designing, pattern making, sewing, photographing, web design, and everything else in between here at SmarmyClothes.
