100% of all profits benefit seamstresses in Kenya! I spent a year teaching in Kenya and found kinship in a group of women who were learning to sew and start their own businesses. I am committed to helping them raise money for new sewing machines as they work to pass their National Seamstress exam. Please know that every purchase you make will help these women take a step toward self-sufficiency.
I am inspired by my family, especially my beautiful little girl, the Kenyan Women with whom I worked, the changing of the seasons and the color all around us.

Don't Forget the Flipside
CarMa Designs often feature beautiful backsides as well. Each item can play off your mood of the moment - embellished with ribbon, or refined without; prominent brooch, or sparkles-for-later. Clothing and couches benefit from two looks in one perfect piece.
