We've (the hubby and I) have been at this since 2017. It started in a 14x28 shed that we totally finished on the inside to look like an old barn. It was complete with a wood stove and an air conditioner for our HOT southern summer days. We've got some great memories from that shop. It was a great space.
Now that we've relocated from the Piedmont of NC to the SE Coast of NC we've converted two bedrooms into workspaces. One bedroom is 100% my design, sewing, and product photo room. We build the beautiful barn wood back drop that you see in my One Of A Kind vintage handbag and accessories pictures on the website. I used to have to take all of my photos outdoors at both the old shop and here. What a PAIN that was! It's so nice to be able to do it indoors now.
As for sourcing vintage fabrics, I've been fortunate over the years to make acquaintances in the mid-west who shop estate sales and such and I purchase straight from them. Sometimes I'm able to find fabrics from independent sellers on the interwebs too. Many of my fabrics I've had for years because I've been primarily self employed as a folk artist all of my adult life. My passion for folk art started way back in high school and led to all kinds of art projects. Once upon a time I had the opportunity to attend an art institute but decided that I needed a different type of education to fall back on. Well, so far I'm still junkin' and making art and I love it!
When you purchase a handmade bag or accessory that I've designed it gives me great pleasure knowing that you will have a piece of my art to enjoy. All designs are made by myself. The hubby designs the tees. He's pretty artsy too, but I do the final touches. We hope that those of you that have purchased tees are enjoying them. When I decided to branch out into apparel I knew I wanted to use premium fabrics. That's why we use 100% preshrunk ringspun cotton. It's distressed for that vintage vibe and so so soft. All of our tees and other apparel items are triple pressed by us for quality and durability.
