Maria Rose
I am a self-taught sewist passionate about turning reclaimed materials into functional, beautiful fashion accessories, and home decor items. Each piece I create is a unique, one-of-a-kind item that evolves from the individual fabric’s design and size. I love giving recycled materials a new life because each project is different and requires me to respond to and learn from various fabrics.
I first started sewing after purchasing a 1960 Kenmore machine off of Craigslist, following the birth of my oldest son. A trip to FabMo a few years later sparked my interest in fabric recycling. Today, as a mother of three boys, I enjoy using my background in graphic design to build my creative skills in sewing, painting, and drawing.
