About and FAQs

When I started weaving many years ago, I never imagined what I would be creating.  After my mother passed away, I could not just throw her clothes away.  Her style was very funky and colorful and I wanted to do something different with them.  I decided to make a rag rug for myself and my five siblings from her clothes in celebration of her life.  The rugs were amazing and it was a special and wonderful way to cherish her memory in a unique way.

I understand that transforming special clothing into a new and different item can be emotional.  Please know I will make these items in honor and celebration of your loved ones.  I will consult with you prior to the transformation so we can discuss the process if you would like.

I recently added rugs and scarves from neck ties after having many people ask me about them. I can create a rug with them or, with silk ties, I can create a unique scarf.  

I have also added throw pillows, from small neck support pillows to large pillows from your loved ones clothing.  

I also weave scarves, baby blankets, throw pillows and blankets, table runners and many other items that are featured on this site.  Custom orders are available.

Please check out my store and contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you for stopping by.
