With 40 years immersed in textile design and helping women feel confident in what they wear, I’ve learned something profound: when you move your hands and your heart at the same time, healing happens.
I’ve worked with tools, dyes, factories, fashion runs — and I’ve fallen for the deliberate, quiet alchemy of slow‑stitching. I’ve seen women transform their energy, their mood, their sense of possibility — simply by allowing themselves to make.
Now I’m here for you: to guide your hands, awaken your creativity, and gift you your own doorway into calm.
You’re working hard to find calm and balance in your busy life, but you’re not seeing the peace or creative fulfillment you deserve for all the effort you’re putting in.
Or maybe you feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start reconnecting with your creative side — even though you know it’s exactly what your soul needs.




Last week was kind of weird. I wanted purple polish for my pedicure and was offered a “nice neutral beige” as a “more appropriate” option. I got a haircut and went with pics of a curly stacked reverse bob perfect for my hair and was talked out of it…not sure why but I suspect the same reason.
Today I was having lunch with a friend and of course I chose a Steel Pony outfit and it dawned on me that I never feel judged by you. You never make me feel like I’m too old, or too heavy, or not attractive enough to wear your clothing. This means a lot to me now because my shape is changing dramatically because of illness and medication and it’s become difficult for me to feel good about myself. I know I mentioned this in the video but I just wanted to tell you again how good I feel when I wear your clothing. It seems like that comes from a place of goodwill and love and trust.
Whatever it is, I just wanted to thank you for making someone who feels out of place pretty much all the time finally feel comfortable. I hope I’m not making you uncomfortable by saying these things. Somehow I’m trying to get across that what you do is more than just clothing. Thank you

Special, that’s how I feel whenever I wear my Steel Pony clothes. I’ve been retired for almost 10 years, and with my retirement came the freedom to wear whatever I want wherever I go. No more corporate attire for me! I gave that part of my wardrobe to Career Wardrobe, a non-profit organization where women in transition can obtain career appropriate clothing and gain the confidence they need to in order to achieve the next level of gainful employment.
When I get up in the morning and look in my closet, I feel more positive. My mood brightens regardless of what lies ahead. With the versatility of and ability to mix and match pieces, I always come up with the perfect outfit whether I am running everyday errands, meeting friends, attending services, or enjoying time with family. What a great way to start off the day. When I dress in Steel Pony, I feel positive, pretty, and very special.
I have to say it must show on my face. I think it’s quite remarkable that I get so many complements from people, whether I see them fairly regularly or infrequently. And I’ll never forget the day I wore one of my favorite outfits and a total stranger stopped me on the sidewalk and told me I looked beautiful. It just doesn’t get better than that. So special is my word for describing the beautiful Steel Pony clothes and the way I feel when I wear them.

earing SP has made me feel pretty, confident and happy to be who I am......
the inspiration and your desire to share that and help others feel good is evident not just in what your create in clothing, but how you treat your customers, taking time to hear them and try to help them figure out what would work best for them...
Beyond the clothing - I have felt very lucky to have gotten to know you - you have both enriched my life in more ways than I can say.

I just had to tell you that this piece is soooo exceptionally beautiful! It brought me to tears when I opened the box. It's such a special piece thanks for creating it.
