About KS Fabric Arts

Sewing has been "my thing" since I learned to use my mom's sewing machine at the age of 13. However, I don't know which inspires me more, the sewing or the fabric. A trip to the fabric store, with all the beautiful colors, textures and patterns gets my mind overflowing with ideas. Needless to say, I'm a fabriholic.

Many people have told me I should use my creative talent to make a living; which reinforced my intention to do so. After earning my Bachelors degree in Business Administration, working briefly in the automotive industry, then taking time off to be a mom to my 3 wonderful boys, I felt that my time had come.

In an effort to deplete my fabric stockpile I made some handbags for myself. It was fun watching these scraps of fabric take shape, like little transportable sculptures. It was then that I decided to dive in and create a line to sell at art/craft shows.

Since that decision, in 2002, I've been honing my craft, striving for excellence in every aspect of my business (good thing for that Business Degree). I am continually testing new designs and techniques, searching for the right materials from exquisite fabric to sturdy interfacing and hardware. All this is done while keeping a prudent eye on costs so that I can offer my handbags at a reasonable price.

The style of my bags reflects a careful balance of fun and sophistication, offering women an opportunity to express their uniqueness. What differentiates my bags from others is my focus on high quality, functionality, detailed workmanship and distinctive beauty. My bags have to stand-up to everyday use while looking great through it all.
