Hi everyone! I am Sheena and I am the dyer behind Casual Fashion Queen!! I am going to answer some frequently asked questions so you can get to know me better. If you have any additional questions, please use the contact form below to ask.
Where are you located?
Even though I am a Jersey girl, through and through, I currently reside in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We only just moved here in the summer of 2021 and we are slowly renovating our old farmhouse while exploring the surrounding areas. I spend most of my time between Michigan and Wisconsin, as I live on the border, buried within the woods.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get my inspiration from everything around me. Literally, everything! I am constantly listening to music so that plays a big part in naming colorways but I have found myself dyeing random things in my life like my parakeet Chloe, who inspired Fat Bottom Girls. I have always been a very colorful person, inside and out, so I think color speaks to me and dyeing yarn is how I speak back.
How did you come up with your business name?
I used to be OBSESSED with street fashion. All of the colors, styles, layers, textures, etc. I would hoard fashion magazines and, one day, I was at a bookstore, drooling over fashion magazines when I read CASUAL FASHION QUEEN scrawled down the binding of one of the magazines and it just stuck in the back of my head.
It has been about 20 years and I have not stopped adoring of this phrase.
I, also, like the idea of every crafter being a casual fashion queen, just creating beautiful one of a kind pieces PLUS that of feeling when you finally get to put your handmade pieces on for the first time.
How long have you been dyeing yarn and why did you start?
I started to dye yarn about 2012/2013 when I realized that even though I love to make things, I could spend hours in a small area with yarn and not stop finding new things to fuss over. I would just feel the yarn, pick it up and look over every color, pick through the nuances and put it down so I could come back and do it again a few more times. Yarn was sort of an obsession from the moment that it came into my life and my poor husband can only explain the chunks of time missing from my life because I was in craft stores. I did not, yet, know that hand dyed yarn was a thing when I had started crocheting and knitting but once I started to realize that I could spin my own yarn and dye my own yarn, all bets were off.
