I am a creative clothing designer and usually piece the fabrics before I cut the garment. I have collection showings and sales at my studio several times a year, and also am part of the Open Studios Tour, and Handweavers Guild Show and Sale.
I design all the patterns and sew the garments, frequently using playful linings in my jackets and coats. I use mostly natural fabrics like silk, cotton, rayon, wool and sometimes fleece.
