About

After collecting fabric and vintage linens for decades I have restored a vintage trailer to take my creations on the road, hence “Frocks On The Run” was born. I make a variety of women’s garments from vintage tea-dresses to 50’s era dresses and farm-style frocks, novelty skirts, vintage aprons and pin-up styles. I also make a large variety of girl’s dresses, nightgowns, rompers, baby bonnets, infant shoes, diaper covers and headbands. Each of my garments are one of a kind. Many are made from vintage pattern archives and lovingly sewn the way things were in bygone days with even some hand-stitching occasionally. I frequently use a mix of new and up-cycled vintage fabrics, trims, notions, tablecloths and runners to ensure each creation is unique.  My designs are timeless styles and very wearable. I also make children’s costumes for dress-up or Halloween, like we wore when we were young.

​

I begin with freshly laundered linens, laces soaked and cleaned for whitening if they are old, buttons handpicked from jars of antique and retro notions.  Each day I go to my sewing space, I select which fabrics I will work with, whether I am sewing women’s or children’s that day. Then I begin to sketch or write out my ideas and hunt through bins for just the right trims etc. for each dress or other garment I make.  I try to have a large variety of sizes, so I will make about 40 of each thing before I move on from one style to another.  I do this five days a week from October to May. On weekends, I go out sourcing, replenishing my stash.

It is my delight to do a few of the best local shows each year as I am a one person operation focusing on quality and uniqueness to give you a hand-made heirloom.
