Goddess Rags are one of a kind pieces of wearable art made with vintage fabrics. I spend untold hours scouring antique shops for vintage linens that tell families’ stories. With each pieces of fabric’s beauty and wonderful history I look to the fabric to determine what it will become. I design each garment from the uniqueness of each piece of fabric. The nature of vintage fabrics requires a careful process of restoration, hand stitching, patching, embroidery, dyeing; anything to create a garment that’s a special piece of wearable art.
