Our Story

A concept that was born out of a not-so-simple Christmas request made by my  16-year-old  son, Kevin (now 20 years old). "Mom,  all I want  for Christmas is some patch pants."

Great - what on  earth are "patch pants"?

After  what seemed like hours of Kevin's description and explanation, Kevin's Christmas  request was about as clear as mud. So, I spent hours and  hours online looking for something that was even close to what Kevin  described. But every time I thought I'd found something and called for Kevin to come and look, he said "well, SORT of like  that, but not exactly..."

So, I  finally decided to use my 25+ years of high-quality seamstressing  and creative clothing design experience and CREATE what Kevin  wanted. A couple of weeks later, Kevin had what he thought was the  "coolest pair of pants EVER!” Since then, Kevin has gotten quite a few  more pairs of patch pants as well as a supply of patch  shorts for summer. Then I got to enjoy creating a few patch and boho skirts and a couple fun purses and bags for myself, and there was no looking back.

Not only has our family of 9 family enjoyed these  unique  and fun quality clothes, but wonderful clients all over the world have enjoyed these items as well! That's how www.CoolPatchPants.com was born!

Now YOU can have the "COOLEST PANTS EVER", too! (and "coolest SHORTS", and "coolest SKIRT", and "coolest PURSE", and on and on.....)

By the way,  your purchase also allows me to continue to work from home  and spend  more time with my SIX kids. You're also helping me show my kids how to follow a dream to its fruition, how to  make  money doing something you love to do, and how to start a  business  from the ground up - very valuable lessons that will help my kids grow into happy, prosperous adults - and hopefully to follow their OWN dreams!

Our Process

My husband always tells me that I put too much thought into things - ALL things. And I tell him that I'm just a perfectionist and want to make sure things are right the first time!

I'm very proud of my creativity and my work - I would  never expect anyone else to wear or give something that I  wouldn't  be completely proud to give or wear myself! I put a great deal of effort into selecting complementary fabrics, "balancing" and achieving the desired color effects, and making sure  the quality of my work will ensure years of enjoyment.

Each Custom-Made garment is created when it's ordered - not before - to  ensure the desired effect for each and every client. The patch fabric for every garment is created by me. I select the desired fabrics to  achieve the specific effect for each garment,  making sure that the look I'm getting is the  look my  client will love. I then connect everything together into one large piece of "fabric". Items are top-stitched at stress points for extra strength, and crotch seams have added internal seams for extra protection. I expect garments and bags that I make for my own family to be high quality that will last years and years - and I’d offer nothing less to my wonderful clients who trust me to create something extra special just for them.

The  hardest thing for me to do is to actually part with the items I  create - unfortunately, I can't keep them all! But I put my heart  and soul into each and every item - it's MY personal  investment in YOUR happiness and enjoyment!
