Our Story

Ever since I was a little girl, I have enjoyed creating things that involve various materials. It was in middle school when I took a Home Ec class with my favorite teacher, that I really began to enjoy sewing. She taught me the basics, which I didn't revisit again until I became a parent.

It was then that I discovered I had just enough patience combined with a small bit of talent that enabled me to make sweet little dresses with matching hats for my daughter Katrina, and fun little board shorts for my son, Connor. For several years I considered it a hobby that entertained the kids and I as we searched for special fabrics (choosing ones they thought were "fun") to create a little something special for them... and of course, I couldn't resist making the occasional brother/sister matching outfit!

Fast forward twenty-some years and here I go again! One day, while looking for a special baby gift, nothing seemed just right, and I thought "why don't I just make something?" It was then that kadori was born.

I hope you enjoy kadori as much as I have enjoyed creating it. However, I certainly can’t take all of the credit because so much of it goes to my super helpful, talented, and now grown up daughter, Katrina. I literally could not have done it without her and the help of so many others.

kadori is now available on-line and at select boutiques across the country.
