Okay
to own your own website means you get to do whatever you want
right? so with that said i've decided to slowly add some
interesting links for my customers to browse through. it's
only going to be a few and mostly links to sites that are not
doing the same type of things as me--that was
my issue with my last set of links--too many!! It will be a
list of folks i admire, maybe some resourses and of course
links to my blog (yes
i'm attempting that again!) and also my Esty
shop

Here at
Funky Frocks Designs my mission is to produce excellent
quality one-of-a kind hand-crafted items such as clothing,
jewelry, handbags & sometimes the odd handmade doll or
original painting! i put a lot of thought and time into each
creation and my hope is that when you own a piece of my work
you will be as proud to own it as I am to make it. I am not a
factory and i do have a strict "Family First" philosophy so my
posting schedule is not always consistent to say the
least hehe!! Many warm thanks to all of you that have
continued to support me through the crazy times!!
here's a
little bit about the quality of my work and the quality of the
fabrics i choose to work
with.
The
past few years i have been blessed enough to incorporate my
love of the environment into the fabric i choose to work with.
i have also been fortunate enough to have a few great online
pals that have helped me not only use earth friendly hemp but
have created some AmaZing dyes to enhance the beauty of
my clothing as well as mUcH help in improving my own dye
techniques with hemp and organic fabrics as well. Another way
i like to help out our mother earth is to recycle vintage
India skirts and incorporate them with hemp and
organic cottons to spin them into a modern take on the
old hippie skirts we all have so ManY great memories
of!! I carefully inspect each piece of clothing and
stand behind my abilities to create a top quality garment that
will last and last!
a note
on the hand dyed fabrics!! some are from the amazing Jess over
at Ecounique and some are by me! My
own personal technique is a two day process that i love doing
and turns out the best for the kind of clothing i adore!
I sew all
my threads on my Huskylock 936 and my
Bernina Arista 185. All exposed seams are serged
meaning no fraying edges and everything is
topstitched where needed.I do not accept any custom orders. I
find that by creating pre~made items you know exactly what you
are getting and I can be as creative and free as possible! I
never know what will be the end result of my creative
flow once I start a design :o) It usually ends up with *many*
more details than originally planned~~which I think adds to
the originality and uniqueness of each piece!!~*~As my
personal tastes and experiences change and expand I hope to
incorporate that into my clothing, bags and other forms of my
artistic
energy!~*~
