About * Textile
Fetish
Jennifer
Ramos started her home-based business, Textile Fetish,
in
the winter of 2001. Textile Fetish sells one-of-a-kind,
handmade items, made mostly from reclaimed and recycled
materials.

She
set out on this venture with two goals. Her
initial intent was
to put leftover fabric from past projects (not only hers, but that
of other generous fabric hoarders) to use, thus the patchy bag came
about. Shortly after, there was the signature product - patchy pants
for kids.
The
second goal involves her long-held belief that the expression of
creativity leads to a more sane and balanced person. Sewing and
creating original designs makes for the perfect therapy. Therefore,
her second goal was, without question, to maintain some semblance of
sanity.
Not unlike sanity, fabric and textiles are
addictive. The act of acquiring and recycling fabric scraps seems neverending. There will always be the lure
of the quilt shop with its luscious selection of designer prints.
Add to that the treasures, such as vintage sheets, unearthed at
thrift shops, plus friends who have purged their fabric stashes, and
the picture becomes more complete. |
