Wearables in the Female Power Project

Here is a useful page showing all the designs with links to the posts about them. A portion of the proceeds goes to resonant charities. Many of these are for sale on my Etsy site. Prices may be higher there because they include “free” shipping.

Click here to read the first post about this project.

I am phasing out the cotton and silk versions to be replaced by polyester chiffon. They have rolled-serged seams around the edges.

Printed on lightweight and translucent polyester chiffon, the scarves are about 18 inches wide and 90 inches long and they cost $70. The Shawls are about 36 inches wide and 90 inches long and cost $130.

You can order them directly from me! Just send me a message here (include your name, email, and the address you want me to ship to, as well as which pieces you would like to buy) and I will send you a Square invoice which will include the shipping cost (likely to be $8.00 for U.S. destinations). I will ship when your payment goes through.
