Original Designs for the Fabrics of Your Life
About
"Jetsy" aka Elizabeth (Betsy) W. Parker
I design fabrics.
I am a photographer, graphic designer and an artist, so my designs come from photos, Photoshop work, and original drawings and paintings.
I learned to sew as a middle school girl. I developed a love for fabrics - both texture and colors that has stayed with me my entire life. I studied Art History as an undergraduate and began batiking fabric after graduating from college. Though mostly focusing on art, I started designing fabrics for products I sold on a website dedicated to the art and culture of Puerto Rico. (See my Puerto Rico Collection.)
Gradually, I started adding designs that were inspired by nature, notably pattens I discovered with my photography.
My particular passion is table settings, so I focus on place mats, napkins, runners, coasters and other items used in entertaining.
I also like to make clothing and accessories, pillows, tote bags, kerchiefs and items for babies, specifically stuffed animals and blankets.
I am located in Milton, Wisconsin. I have a studio where I design and sew all the items myself. You can reach me at Betsy@JetsyDesigns.com or PO Box 402, Milton, WI 53563.
