Holiday Festival of Crafts in Buffalo this Weekend

Our "Mostly Wool" line shows a  playful new take on up-cycled wool from sweaters, skirts, and pants. These lively collar scarves will keep you warm this winter while you support the "go green" movement.

“Timeless Design in Natural Fibers ~ Fashions for Every Woman”

This is the first post in a new blog about the Natural Fiber Clothing Designs Studio.  We are part of the Rochester Folk Art Guild which is located on East Hill Farm in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of western New York state. We design and sew a line of flattering, easy to wear clothes for women.
All of our clothes are made using natural fibers – 100% hemp, various hemp blends, as well as wool, silk, rayon and tencel.  We often incorporate vintage or antique fabrics in the construction of garments and for unique embellishments. We’ve refined our designs over time so that they flatter many different body types and function well for women with varying lifestyles.  Every item is made one at a time, with care and attention to detail.
We hope to let you know more about us and our work process throughout the year.  Please check back often to see what's going on as we create the next season's line. ~ Claudia
