UtiliTies is a product line that celebrates my love for vintage fabrics and patterns.
When my closet would no longer close because I had too many vintage neckties,
I started stenciling (text and designs) onto them and selling them. I've also started to put on reflective material designs.
I've used my vintage fabric collection to make patches stenciled with images and/or text, and some have reflective designs
also. Patches can be used to fix a hole or can be sewn or pinned to bags, jackets etc for added color or reflectivity for safety.
And then I started UtiliHankies: hand stenciled hankies. Some new, some vintage!
Awesome new items Alert! UtiliTshirts! People often ask if I make tshirts with my designs
and now I do. Using carefully selected used and some new tshirts, I've created a new line of products.
Years ago I created a set of laminated vintage fabric placemats for myself. They are a way for me to document all of this amazing fabric
but still use them. Now I have these for others to purchase.
I know...it's a strange collection of items... No one has ever suggested I was conventional.
Thanks for looking and let me know if you'd like to place an order.
