I design and sew vibrant clothing using unique vintage textiles. Each garment is totally one-of-a-kind, some have even walked a runway! I create bespoke suits & dresses with classic techniques, original designs and sewing patterns.
Can’t figure out what to wear? I’m available for in-home styling sessions or wardrobe consultations.

Maisie Daisy Designs is run by two sisters, Rachel and Rebecca, who came together with their shared joy of crafting. Inspired by Rachel’s rescue pup, Maisie, they started making pet bandanas and other items with the goal of giving back and sparking joy! With every purchase, a bandana is donated to a rescue animal to have something of their own to bring to their forever home.

I make handcrafted, one-of-a-kind fabric wrapped bowls and baskets, coasters, trivets and more. I use vintage, upcycled and modern quilt fabrics. I can make custom bowls from your fabric or mine.
I’ve always loved fabrics, color, and most of all making things with my hands. When I started making bowls 10 years ago, it was like coming home.
Bowls are useful around the house, and for all ages. Fun, too! We all need more whimsy in our lives..

I’ve lived in Ann Arbor for more than 20 years and began marbling in Oregon. Marbling is an ancient art in which paints are floated on the surface of a thin gel, then manipulated with a series of rakes and combs to create intricate patterns. Fabric is then carefully laid onto the surface. The pattern absorbs instantly into the fabric.
Today, I focus on hand-marbled clothing made out of cotton and silk for babies, children and adults.

I learned to sew at the age of 7. Many years later I found some free upholstery samples and made a few bags – the story is on my website. I’ve been my own boss since age 23 when I quit my job of 1 year. I decided then that I would never work in an office again.

I have been working in color through fabric since 1997, creating bright, vibrant placemats, table runners, napkins, wall hangings, and quilts in many colorways. I also offer many items featuring my original photographs and illustrations, such as throw pillows, Ann Arbor souvenir t-shirts, greeting cards, magnets and more. Animals, trees, flowers, nature, and women are frequent themes in my work. I follow the philosophy of William Morris: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
