vendor profile: Three Leaf Apparel

I create and design my own apparel, accessories, and home goods using a variety of handmade techniques and high quality fibres. 

Situated in a city where it is cold 50% of the year, I like to create options that keep my clients warm while feeling fashionable at the same time.  I also aim to use products that are natural and made from animal fibres when possible because they seem to be create the best quality and most luxurious options.  

Recently, I've introduced home goods to my repertoire to give me an artistic output in the summer months while we enjoy the sun and abandoning the need to layer up.

It's time we had a little talk...

Join us for an evening of crafty discussion.

Where: The Roastery on 8^th Street (back room)

When: Monday March 5^th at 7pm

Who: flock & gather members, our invited guest extraordinaire – Amy Smith of Three Leaf designs, and you!

Why: Well really… why not? Do we need an excuse to get together?

But seriously, this will be in the first in a series of discussion nights where we get together to talk craft, the business side of things, and wherever the night takes us. Amy Smith will be leading us in a casual discussion walking us through some of the journey she’s taken so far in setting up her independent craft business.

This is an evening for both emerging and experienced crafters, everyone will have something to contribute to the conversation and something to take away.

Hope to see you there!

Artist Profile: Amy Smith

Amy started knitting/sewing/needlepoint at an early age - around 10 or 11 yrs old. She started crocheting in college and hasn't been able to stop since. She even somehow managed to get her husband on board and he ended up finishing a blanket.

She started making hats for friends' kids and they encouraged her to pursue it (thanks to them for that! These hats are adorable!!!)


Amy likes to combine her desire to be creative with her love for the earth. She uses recycled and reused materials in her designs in an effort to make pretty things without creating more waste. If she needs to buy supplies she prefers to use organic and sustainable materials.

She finds inspiration from a number of sources including her lovely daughter who inspired her to make small things, being that she was a preemie and there was not much out there that fit her. Expect to find many lovely baby gifts when visiting Amy at the market.
