"Rags To Wears"

(Not Made In China)


"Rags to Wears" are really cool,comfy and funky. I use to make these in high school back in the mid-seventies. My friends would give me all my their unwanted T-shirts and I would sew halter tops and summer dresses out of them. The ones I didn't give away I would then ride my 10 speed bike from S.Congress Ave. (where I grew up) to Barton Springs and sell them. It was great because Barton Springs "Blues On The Green" free concert would just so happen to be on the same schedule as mine!

They are made of 100% cotton and every one is different. I sew all kinds of funky stuff on them to give them personality and to always bring a smile or comments! Locally made in South Austin (Not China). 

 I have spent some time sailing and living the Island life so a lot of my wears have an Island flare and always a splash of funk. Some are shorter for tops some are longer for a dress.

Machine wasable hang or tumble dry. The straps are adjustable therefore one size fits most. So the Rags are back 30 years later and one full circle :-)

These are NOT MADE IN CHINA and I thank you for supporting your local artist. The T-shirts I use are also made in the U.S.A
