My project aims to create the funds to buy sustainable fabrics that I will sew into beautiful inspired woman wearables. Much of what is produced with sustainable fabrics is leisure wear and I see arithful place for them within the realms of fashion.
I have been making clothing on a commercial scale for about 5 years and have just opened a small retail outlet which houses my sewing studio and a wellness consultancy. As much of my resources have been going into start up costs I am needing a hand with next seasons fabric purchase.
I am offering as rewards options for clothing from my new range, there is also the possibilty for me to design something special for you. In addition I am offering various packages from the wellness consultancy that I also run. My areas of expertise include yoga, which I have been teaching for over 13 years, Ayurveda, Counseling, and Wellness Coaching as well as personalised style advice.
You can check out my website to get an idea of the clothing that I have produced in the past so as to get a feel of my work at Yogini Streetwear
If more funds are raised than are required for the purpose of this project I will put them into my business and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have directly supported a truly independent artist.

The Challenges

I don't foresee any obstacles to me achieving what I set out to do. I have the designs ready to go and hopefully the funding to get cracking. The only hicup might be that the demand outstrips my production for which I have an awesome streamstress as back up who gets paid above well for her efforts.

2 pairs of button earrings made from my Japanese fabric offcuts. Price includes shipping.
