I'm Elizabeth, and I'll tell you a little bit about my life and my business - for me it would be pretty hard to separate the two!

I live in historic downtown St. Augustine. I'm currently a senior at Flagler College, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Art History. My first sewing machine was a Christmas present in high school, and ever since I've been at it, thanks to patience and help from my Mama and grandma.

I've always loved the quality and style of vintage clothing and I'm also an advocate of environmentally friendly practices, so creating a clothing line combining those two elements was only natural. I scavenge thrift stores for cool fabrics, often finding them in the oddest forms - tablecloths, curtains, bedsheets (ha!). Then, I bury myself under fabric, thread, and lace in my sewing room and make lots of crazy clothes. My line consists mainly of vintage inspired designs using recycled fabrics, but I also draft some modern pieces as well. My style is definitely eclectic, but I try to put a new edge on vintage shapes and fabrics.

I also make an assortment of other items, including jewelry, handbags, greeting cards and hair pieces.

I rely on my fantastic friends for all of their help - models and photographers (that's you, Paige!) and couldn't do this cool stuff without their support.

When I'm not sewing, I'm either evading class or looking for a new pair of cowboy boots.
