about kristen

Kristen is a knitwear designer and sewist living in Reno, NV. She grew up with a master seamstress for a mother who would make many of her clothes and could sew anything you challenged her with (including a Rainbow Brite Halloween costume in 1988 that contained 189 pattern pieces!) Naturally, some of this sewing talent wore off and over the years Kristen has honed her own skills to hand-craft most of her own wardrobe. She is passionate about using sustainable materials including textiles she can thrift and make into something new, mending her old clothing as needed, and generally avoiding fast fashion. Plus, there is nothing better than the thrill of a compliment on something you are wearing and being able to say, “Thanks, I made it!” And now, she is excited to begin teaching others these skills so that they can do the same.
