I've always been a crafter with a love for art. I've taught classes, inspired others to create, and shared the joy that comes from making something with our own hands. Creativity isn't just what I do it's who I am.

I've always been a crafter with a love for art. I've taught classes, inspired others to create, and shared the joy that comes from making something with our own hands. Creativity isn't just what I do it's who I am.
My Dad gave our family a love for the Northwoods. Up North, flannels are practically a way of life. They're part of the campfires, the cabins, the cool mornings and the memories.
But why wear a plain, naked flannel when you can wear one that says something?
That's where my passion meets tradition. I take a Northwoods classic and give it personality, humor, faith, attitude or a story to tell.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU WEAR SHOULD BE AS UNIQUE AS YOU.
The Process

The Beginning
My first flannel shirts were my Dad's. What started as a way to create something special for my family quickly became something much bigger.
We've always loved a soft, comfy, lived in flannel. The kind that feels like an old friend from the very first wear. Today, that's still exactly what you'll find in every piece I create.

My first flannel shirts were my Dad's. What started as a way to create something special for my family quickly became something much bigger.
We've always loved a soft, comfy, lived in flannel. The kind that feels like an old friend from the very first wear. Today, that's still exactly what you'll find in every piece I create.
Each flannel is hand picked from thrift stores and resale shops. I look for quality, character, softness, and that well loved feel that can't be bought new.
Every patch is sublimated and printed by me. Some designs are my own creations, some are licensed designs I've purchased, and some are custom ideas that come directly from my customers.
Then comes my favorite part. Each patch is carefully paired with the flannel that suits it best. Once the perfect match is made, it's sewn on, tagged and prepared for its next adventure. And yes!, everything is washed several times throughout the process.
The result? A soft, comfortable, one of a kind flannel that's already broken in and ready to wear. No shrinkage, no special washing instructions. The patches are completely color safe and made to last through everyday life.
EVERY FLANNEL HAS A STORY, I SIMPLY HELP WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER.

My husband and I are blessed with 14 grandchildren ranging in age from 1-14. They are my biggest fans, my most honest critics and my favorite models. They're always requesting their favorite characters on a shirt, testing out new designs and making sure their teachers have a cozy flannel to keep them warm.
In fact, because of them, we carry sizes infant all the way to 5XL. Everyone deserves a flannel that feels like it was made just for them.
The Littles are learning the family business too. They help cut threads, add tags and lend an extra set of tiny hands whenever they're around. If you're lucky enough to visit us at a market, you may even see them working alongside me or hear their excited chatter from the booth.
This business has always been about more than flannels. It's about faith, family, creativity , and building something together.
Around here we have a simple motto:
GOD, FAMILY & FLANNELS
and that's exactly how we like it!
