If you've followed me for any amount of time then you know that I like layers! I also tend to wear pieces a little different than what is expected. Finding your own style can be difficult when mainstream media is always telling us what we should wear. I have a few suggestions for you here that will help you find your own style.

I started sewing wild rags nearly 6 years ago for myself because I couldn’t find unique styles i liked, but i could find the fabric! Then friends and family wanted to buy them which led to Gilliland H&C Wild Rags becoming a thing! This adventure outgrew my dining room after a few years, and led to me hiring a local professional sewer! I’m proud to offer quality charmeuse fabrics and other poly blend fabrics that are not only stylish but hearty! Those will always be a staple around here, but I still get asked ALL the time if i carry...

I’m sure some of you type 3 personalities struggle with hitting pause like I do. The things this little cowboy has taught me… like to pause my work brain and be present!

Just wanted to share this simple life lesson I’ve learned. Some of y’all are relaxed people. Good for you For those that are CONSTANTLY on task…drop the task. It will still be there. Write...
