Heather Bailey is a playful and inventive designer of all things happy. With
a B.A. in Apparel Design and a knack for style, Heather has run successful
businesses in both children’s and women’s accessories. Her designs were
eagerly snatched up by celebrities and were offered by many of the
world’s most exclusive stores including Fred Segal, Henri Bendel, and
Bloomingdales, as well as high-end boutiques in Japan, Hong Kong, and
Paris.

Fresh and imaginative, Heather’s designs have been featured in top
fashion magazines, such as InStyle, Glamour, Seventeen, and
Mademoiselle. Her work has also been showcased by the International
Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA), in recognition of her artistry and
superior construction techniques.

Creative expression is one of the great joys of Heather’s life and her hands
are never still. Sewing and crocheting by the age of eight, and quilting by
eleven, Heather has a long-standing love for traditional women’s
handicrafts. Over the years, her interests have grown to include knitting,
spinning, weaving, stained glass, upholstery, ceramics, bead making, faux
finishing, silver smithing, painting and children’s illustration. Designing for
different mediums, Heather has honed a smart and lively aesthetic that
infuses every aspect of her art.

Through all her adventures, sewing has remained Heather’s grand passion.
This passion and Heather’s flair for art and color, have now happily
married in fabric design. Freshcut™, Heather’s all-original debut collection
for Free Spirit, demonstrates Heather’s talent for modern design, as well as
her love for vintage nostalgia.

Heather is a busy young mother of two. Her children come first, but when
they’re content, Heather is busily sketching fabric designs, dreaming up
new projects and patterns, and recording it all on her weblog.

To Heather, “Handicrafts foster a feeling of sisterhood among women.
From quilting bees to craft blogs, I’m thrilled to be a part of the growing
movement toward creative community.”
