My love of sewing bloomed 8 years ago when i had the joyful realization that i could create my own clothing, clothing that inspired me in some way and that somehow expressed my essence. After years of practise and experience i took a step a few years ago to begin designing and sewing clothing for my community. 'Cedar Soufeather - Clothing for Your Soul' was birthed 4 years ago when i became a vendor at the Salt Spring Island summer market in BC, Canada.

I opened my Etsy shop about 2 years ago, wanting to open up my clothing line to people off-island, and also to create a space where customers could easily purchase items online. I love that through Etsy I'm able to interact with people all over the world. And i love the caliber of artisans on this site, and how inspired I am as I browse through all of the creations here.

My shop both at the Salt Spring Island market and my shop here on Etsy has given me the opportunity to create full time. I work from home in my studio, which I absolutely love as I can be close to my daughter. I do all the design and pattern work myself, as well as most of the sewing. I have a manufacturer who I work with in Vancouver, BC who does some of the cutting and sewing for me, and then sends the pieces back to me so that i can finish them off with hand-sewn unique appliques.

Every piece of clothing bought through Etsy, or through the Salt Spring Island market, contributes to the health and wellness of my family, my island community, and, i believe of the larger planetary community. I am in service to the evolution of humanity, creating spaces and experiences for inner transformation, and am committed to walking gently on the earth and creating new paradigms of being and relating that support life, love, and joy.
