Why Warped:

 

 

I am a fabric lover and have been making things for as long as I can remember.  As a kid I would buy embroidery kits and make pillows, teddy bears, and little wall hangings.  My mother and I would go to the local fabric store and buy yardage, I always had a project in mind, maybe 40% were ever completed..  Eventually I went on to get a degree in Textile Design, and began weaving.  This is where Warped began.

​

I still love weaving, sewing and all things textile, but my work has changed over the years.   Now much of my work is made out of old cloths, mostly denim.  I take thrift store finds, rip them apart and turn them into something else.  There is a beauty in taking something and repurposing it into something else.  There is so much fabric, in perfect condition, that is being thrown away.  I want to put it to good use.

​

This site is a work in progress.  I have spent several years in a less the creative position, and am now trying to rebuild my portfolio.  I will be hosting classes, and posting work as I finish.  To get me started, I will be working on a Makers Monday Denim Challenge.  Every Monday I will post an item that I made out of recycled demin, and ask that you do to.....
