I have yards of beautiful brocades, fleece, lace, trim, and other fabrics for sewing goth and pagan oriented baby clothes and items. I make them to order in colors and fabrics you choose. Fabrics will vary depending upon availability.

I make infant and children's clothing and baby quilts to your specifications. I have been asked about pagan and gothic baby clothes and I can make these as well (I have designed and made pagan ritual wear and clothing for about 15 years). They would differ from ordinary baby clothes by colors and fabrics used (darker, richer reds, greens, blues, purples, and blacks in stretchy velvets, cottons, brocades, and other similar easily washable fabrics). I also do hand embroidery and other sewing, repairs, and minor alterations on clothing for the entire family.
I have been a professional seamstress for nearly 40 years. For a sample of my sewing, please visit my Costume Index to view my daughter's wedding clothes I designed and stitched. This is my membership listing on Ebay with pictures of completed Goth-Pagan Infant & Children's wear. I also do sewing repairs, minor alterations and other types of machine and hand stitching. Please contact me with information about what you want and I can give you a quote about costs (I work inexpensively!). My email is moondragon2@aol.com.

MEN & FATHERHOOD
My Favorite Internet Fatherhood Pictures:
It takes more than a Man to be a Father! It takes love, commitment, sharing, duty to family, support (both financial and emotional), caring, discipline, and so much more! Love and take care of your children... they are the future and may someday have to take care of you.

Web Site Blessing
May the powers of The One,
The source of all creation;
May the Goddess, the Lady of the Moon;
And the God, Horned Hunter of the Sun;
May the rulers of the elemental realms, earth, air, fire and water;
May the powers of the stars above and the Earth below,
Bless this web site, and this time, and I who am with You.
I ask for you to protect these pages,
And that no harm to those who visit here.
So mote it be.
