About Marcia:

Marcia grew up with her mum sewing on the kitchen table making her own patterns and garments made to measure. She attended an Art Group in Burra as an adult where a woman from Earth Palette taught a class on tie dyeing which sparked Marcia’s interest. She has now been sewing and making clothing for over 25 years. Marcia uses recycled clothing as well as some new fabrics for her designs. She presents her clothing, ‘Marcia’s Groovy Designs’, at Festivals and events. Marcia also has a selection of clothing to view and purchase in her home.
