When I was a little girl I watched as my mother and grandmother would take one yard of material and make it into a masterpiece. My mother would design gorgeous velvet holiday dresses for me. My grandmother designed and tailored every 1960’s suit in her closet. I grew up watching my grandmother knit and crochet masterpieces; she probably made over 300 newborn baby sweater and boots sets. My grandmother and mother didn’t hesitate on an opportunity to change the kitchen window treatments and reupholster the seat cushions to match, every season. I grew up in a ‘do it your self is the only way to get the result you are looking for’ atmosphere. Growing up, I was blessed to be around powerful women. They taught me to keep moving forward, follow my dreams, and never look back for any moment. If I wanted to enter into one of the hardest industries in the world, “Fashion”, they encouraged me to go for it. Reminding me that God has only given me one life; and I better make it a good one! So with determination and perseverance I was headed to college. I studied my love for both fashion history and the history of art. Visiting my grandmother, one cold fall day, my last year of college, I still remember it was a cool fall day, I went for a visit to my grandmothers. She had a classic elegant beauty, similar to Audrey Hepburn, with the tailored suits and pearl necklaces. But on this day she was wearing a new accessory. Wrapped as a handkerchief would be around her neck was this fluffy, soft, white as snow, scarf. The material was faux fur at it’s best. She of course had knit the scarf herself and knew where to get more of the yarn. She immediately took me to the source and I started knitting away. That was 7 years ago; after graduating from college with my Fashion Merchandising Degree, I created The Lindsay Collection by: Lindsay Jean-Marie. I have combined my fashion knowledge with my love for Knits to create Original Sweater and Jacket Patterns that can now be purchase around the world. I have created all of my patterns myself and I currently do all of my own manufacturing. My sweaters have an unusual flare to them with a tailored scoop back accenting the beauty of a woman’s figure. My signature is the Lucky Lady Bug: if you think you have spotted a Lindsay Jean-Marie Original: ask them if my signature Lady Bug is attached!!
May God Bless you with an abundance of love and happiness forever and ever!!
