Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Darcy Fowkes has been sewing for over 40 years and making her own patterns for over two decades. She currently likes designing new fashion from existing garments, "turning the color of fashion greener every day."
New fashion can often come from our very own wardrobes! An old pair of pants can be re-fashioned into a new skirt by adding a favorite dress that does not fit anymore to the new skirt design. A favorite shirt from your husbands closet can be refashioned into a new dress. An old favorite sweater that you just cannot part with can become a yummy scarf.
Darcy has experimented with many garments, including t-shirts, to create many different garments. If there is a favorite item of clothing in your wardrobe that you would like refashioned, open up a conversation with her to see what she can do with it!

Michele Benzing
For Make me a custom handbag!!!
The handbag was beyond my expectations. Darcy was enthusiastic and communicated with me throughout the project to assure that the end result was exactly what I wanted. She incorporated all of the materials which were pretty extreme (tapestry, leather & fur) so that I ended up with what I wanted and her sewing skills are phenomenal. Thank you! You cannot go wrong with this artist.

Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with. I relied on her expertise and she came through with flying colors. I love my 2 new tops. I highly recommend Darcy for any sewing/fashion need you have!
Nicole Lamarche
For Clerical Couture
Darcy made my vision come to life. She made suggestions throughout that ended up creating a beautiful piece of art. She responded to my questions in a timely fashion and she even finished the project earlier than was expected. I love it!
Sean Farrell
For Sean's Mens Clothes
The final product was much better than I had initially imagined, thanks to Darcy's craftsmanship and expertise. Darcy was incredibly knowledgable and pleasant to work with throughout the design process. I plan to work with her again very soon.
