Buy quality handcrafted one at a time apparel and accessories

At ‘Crafty Sue’s Handcrafted’ online store we sell quality USA crafted apparel and accessories.
Items are each individually handcrafted with great care using quality materials and offered for sale at very reasonable prices.
Made by Americans for Americans. No sweat shop labor.

All the knit or crocheted merchandise offered for sale on Crafty Sue’s Handcrafts website are genuinely hand knit or hand crocheted. What does this mean?… It means that each item is knit or crocheted one at a time by one hand crafter who uses only their own two hands using regular straight knitting needles or hand crocheting hooks to make that item. There is no mass production of knit items by the use of knitting machines.Nor is any type of so called ‘hand knitting’ machine ever employed.
The same holds true for crocheted items.

Some examples of our hand knit items:
Incredible Ribbon Scarves	Soft Homespun Knit Shawls
Ribbon Scarf – Carnival $15.99	Shawl – Quartz $69.99 Shawl at the back in photo above.

All the sewn items for sale on our site are individually constructed from the first step to the last by one hand crafter.
This means that the entire construction of each item sewn from the pinning and cutting out of the pattern to the stitching of the last seam is under control of one person only.The result is superior quality construction.
There is no huge pile of layered fabrics being cutout at en mass nor is the item passed from one worker to the next in assembly line fashion.
It might seem ‘inefficient’ in regards to time spent in production, but the resulting quality of items sewn in this manner is far superior
to any mass produced hurry up and get it out the door products.Each item is in effect ‘custom made’.
So if you are looking for quality, you have come to the right place.
