LaClaire Style

The items that you will find here have come to be because of my need to make things with my own two hands. My drive to create has never been connected to wanting to sell those things and yet, what is a girl to do with all of the pieces that are birthed from her creative expressions?

My emphasis in being respectful to the planet and the creatures that reside on it is reflected in all the pieces that I make. My favorite source of fabric is FabScrap. I make regular trips to the warehouse in Brooklyn Army Terminal  to volunteer my time in exchange for rescued fabrics. I have created a plethora of things from the fabrics and fixings that I have unearthed there including the lining for my custom wedding dress, wedding favors, face masks, headbands, tassels, caftans, pillows (the list goes on and on).

I make things in my 'office' a small room in my house in Brooklyn. I'm just as likely to be working outside on a nice day but so far my sewing machine hasn't made it into the garden, yet.
