Enhance Your Wardrobe With a Little Splash!
I wanted an accessory that provided coverage on my arms, was colorful, fun and enhanced my outfits. So, the perfect accessory was sleeves. It’s interchangible and can be worn with multiple outfits, especially the little black dress!
Just Sleeve It will have a vendor booth at the Tribute To Larry Harlow Summer Concert in Foster City, CA, on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
MARISSA TAMPOYA: It all started when I lived in Washington DC, Maryland, Seattle, and Colorado. The winters are cold and I was miserable, so I started making some warm fuzzy scarves for myself. After that, wherever I went I would always receive compliments from people on the streets, at restaurants, and at work. I soon found myself making scarves for my friends and anyone else who was interested.
When I moved to Seattle and Colorado, I started a business making scarves and pants. I use all kinds of fabrics depending on what my customers prefer, whether it’s warm fuzzy pants or light scarves for summer.
I owe much of my inspiration to the island where I grew up: Jolo, Sulu Philippines. I tend to use colorful fabrics that remind me of the island, though now that I’ve lived in America since 1984, I use other colors and fabrics as well.
Designs and ideas come to me in many different ways. Sometimes, when I am sewing, designs would just come through my head like watching trains go by. So I have a notebook and pencil beside me to sketch the ideas that pass through.
If you don’t find a style that suits you, I will personally make one for you with all my heart.
Thank you for visiting my site! Hopefully the universe will lead us to connect soon ♥︎
