welcome to green heart designs.

greetings.

what does a passion for fabrics,
a love for sewing,
a concern about the environment,
the determination to successfully work from home
all have in common??

green heart designs!

the story behind the biz...

my mom taught me to sew when i was 9, and i have been sewing
ever since. i have made my own clothes, created wedding gowns
for years, designed a home collection of accessories, made
ceremonial attire, created a collection of stuffed animals,
dog clothing and accessories... and so on...

i met this wonderful couple in palo alto who rescue designer
fabric samples that would otherwise be tossed in the landfill.
once a month, these samples are sorted and distributed to many
artists who make all sorts of items with them. all sorts of ideas
started dancing in my head!

my moment i became a mom, i knew that i wasn't going to work full
time and put my son in full time day care. it hasn't been easy, but
i piece it together every month so that neither of us are away full time.

with green heart designs. i get to enjoy amazing fabrics, sew from home,
care for the environment and william and i get to "work" together. he
helps me sort out fabrics, choose beads, and loves to help me sell at
farmers markets. "my mommy makes these!".

i hope that you enjoy my pouches, purses and pillows as much as i do...

i am in the midst of setting up an online boutique filled with fabulous
fashion and home accessories made from recycled materials and locally made
by william's mom!!

cheers!
