Background: “I’ve always sewn. As a child, I had the best-dressed Barbie on the block.”

Inspiration: “The flour-sack clothing started when my sister and I saw some unattractive flour-sack shirts in an antiques store. She turned to me and said, ‘You could do better!’ That was fifteen years and a few thousand sacks ago!”

Target customer: “I love grandmothers. They just have so much fun buying kids’ clothes.”

Price range: $15 for hats and diaper covers to $50 for dresses and rompers.
