Hi everyone! Thank you sooo much for your interest in supporting independent artists! I started sewing when I was 8 years old, making scrunchies for the high school girls and selling them for a buck! I started my website, Truth Love and Light Tribe 7 years ago, with 2 girlfriends who were also stay at home moms. Its time to take my clothing to the next stage. I would like to raise money to make you some incredible eco-friendly fashions, made from fabrics such as hemp and organic cotton! I would like to dye a lot of the fabrics I use, with herbs that I gather from the abundant mother nature, here in Northern Califronia! I plan on hand creating these one-of-a-kind clothes for you, with colorful, appliques meant to make your spirit soar! They will be more than just hippie clothes, they will be more earth tones than in the past and more appealing to many styles of people and age groups. I have been a Reiki master for over 15 years and believe in the power of intent and good energy and well, karma, so each of my clothes are made with quality, love and the intent to uplift and inspire the wearer, to keep you dancing for many, many moons!
Our creations are currently available online at: www.hippieclothescreations.com
I really need money to take my creations to the next level! I need my sewing machines repaired & a new industrial serger to keep up with the amount of sewing I do. I need supplies, such as thread, needles, and large pots for dyeing the fabrics with the herbs that I gather and dye fixins like iron and copper! I also broke my camera and can't list my new items without one. Eco-friendly fabrics are not cheap, but are incredible to work with, and to wear, and much more sustainable for our planet! I love hemp in particular because it lasts far longer than cotton, it helps keep your body 5 degrees cooler in the summer and 5 degrees warmer in the winter! It is naturally anti-fungal and anti-bacterial as well. It is also a natural barrier from uv, sound and microwave rays! I feel like its important to offer dye options to these fabrics that aren't made from all chemicals and pesticides! I would also really like to be able to higher other stay-at-home-sewing mamas to help me!!
Please feel free to email me with any of your thoughts, questions, love or support! Thank you SOOOOO much for supporting independent artists and helping me to do my most important job~ playing with my kids!!
Truth, Love, Light and my gratitude forever,

Began sewing at 8 years old, selling scrunchies to the high school girls for a buck. I'm equally as passionate about sewing as I am about helping people to heal... I began practicing Reiki (hands on energy healing) when I was 15 and have been teaching others for years now. When I'm doing one, I'm dreaming about the other. I believe that by healing ourselves (and following our passions), we can help heal the planet!
