about me
I have often been called San Francisco's Best Kept Secret - simply because I have never had the ego that requires flagrant self promotion. However, shyness dont pay d'rent! I make fabulous things and I have fun doing it! It is my life purpose to bring some beauty and fun into the world in whatever way I am capable. Whether it be through dance, or creating the dream wedding dress. It could be through making a corset to fit your body, an amazing coat to wow the world, or a kooky costume - its all good. Its all necessary. Its all done with impeccable skill and you will feel better about yourself when wearing it. Nine times out of ten, my clients become my friends - it just doesnt get better than that!

She is one of my favourite people in the world. Fabulously nice and a complete genius with a sewing machine. Serious, have you seen her stuff? Then you know.

It's also nice that she's got a wacky streak. =)

How To Order Sampants™ and Bum Ruffles™

Ive had lots of requests for Sampants and Bum Ruffles and what Im going to do is put a little order form here that you can copy and send to me at kathleen.crowley"at"yahoo.com. If you already put in a request or paid for your items, I have that all recorded and will be getting ahold of you soon.

When I get your order, I will figure out postage and tax if that applies and invoice you through paypal. I take checks and money orders also - let me know if you would rather pay that way.

Since tribe is acting up all the time, this will be easier for me than searching through messages here all day - or not even being able to!

My Blog

I havent been on tribe much - but I know that people are still here. Its such a better interface than FB and all those other sites. I just wish it worked better!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my call for interns! I now have two very talented ladies who will help me get up to speed!

(this is an old photo - I just wanted to put something up here! )

Im looking for an intern or two. This will be an unpaid gig to start. If you can get up to speed and show me that you mean business, it could turn into a paid gig. In exchange for slave labor, I will buy you lunch, force you to hone your skills, give you some industry dirt, and stuff they dont teach you in school. Sometimes college credit can be arranged. Send me a message and I'll get back to you asap.

I know some of you have expressed interest in the past, but I just cant find the messa... read more

I will not knowingly ever try to copy another designer's creation for any type of production.
I will not make a knock off of someone else's design and post online that I will custom re-create this design for you.
I will do my homework before launching a design to make sure that I am not copying someone.

You can come to me with a request and I may or may not make it for you, but it wont end up looking like a carbon copy of someone else' design anyway as I cant help but throw something o... read more
