Growing Muses, Handmade Scarves & More

Growing Muses is a creature inspired accessory/clothing line, Catherine Byrne had started from the inspiration of her children. Her daughter wouldn't wear anything without a creature on it, so Catherine created them. Many designs later, she is prepping for this fall/winter season.
 
 
Catherine studied at the Parsons School of Design and began her career in the garment industry working for various fashion designers before going out on her own. She also designed & made many wedding dresses.

Catherine is working on a new design this year of a husky. Much time and care goes into the making of each scarf.
 
 
Catherine has helpers in getting such a large quantity made and ready for some upcoming craft shows.  Critter paws sewn by Patricia O'Donnell Hogan.
