About This Shop

Little Castle Designs is a one-woman operation, and every item you'll find here is handmade by me (JoAnna) in my home sewing studio in Clinton, SC.  The shop began out of my love of sewing, and my desire to create clothing for my own children that were safe for them and for the environment using natural and sustainable fabrics that capture the joy and spirit of a simpler time, when all clothing was made locally by loving hands.

​ Each item I make is meant to embody the wonder and magic of childhood, with designs that draw on classic looks, while also embracing my own love of nature and whimsy. I carefully select each fabric for comfort, quality, and sustainability to create garments that can withstand the activity and messiness of daily life. ​

Speaking of fabric... Much like we teach our children where their food comes from, I also believe it is important to teach our children where their clothing comes from, and the work that goes into growing the plants that become the fibers that are woven into cloth and then eventually, made into clothes. By choosing handcrafted clothing, we can take the to appreciate the time and work that goes into creating them- and the impact this has on the world around us.  This is why nearly all of the garments in this shop are sewn from organic cotton and other sustainable fibers.​

I hope you enjoy your visit to the Little Castle.  Feel free to contact me with any questions at joanna@littlecastleshop.com.
