The Knot Straight brand was created by Erika Michelle, a zebra auDHD lesbian home sewer and crafter. Like Erika, Knot Straight products are not straight & may have imperfections, but that's how you know they are one-of-a-kind & earth conscience. Erika puts thought & care into creating well-made pieces that minimize waste without compromising cuteness. The fabrics erika uses are upcycled, purchased on clearance, consignment or thrifted. Consequently, they may have slight cosmetic imperfections, but the flaws add a charm that won't affect the integrity of the piece. Using upcycled materials often limits quantity of each product, so if you see something you love, grab it before it's gone. Check the Knot Straight store often for newly added products.
Knot Straight also creates customized products per your request. Dolls, towels, rags etc Find more info & the request form below. Email Hello@knotstraight.com with any questions that are not answered below
handmade pieces with personality
"I believe in the power of sustainability and creativity to make a difference. I create my products with a commitment to reducing waste in an innovative way. From dolls & doll clothes to rags & napkins made from upcycled materials, my products give life and functionality to materials that would otherwise be discarded. I pride myself on turning old into new by creating cute sustainable products that support a greener, more inclusive fun future.
I really enjoy sewing but due to my hEDS (hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) cutting & sewing in a straight line is not always possible. Instead of giving up on sewing, I gave up the idea of perfection. I create well-made products with crooked lines. My products are knot straight but curvy is more fun anyway. " erika michelle
