KC Batik - Raleigh, NC - Custom hand-dyed batik tee shirts for babies, children and adults
I love to visit the State Flea Market because there are LOTS of unique finds and I can draw lots of inspiration from vintage pieces!

I started creating in August 2012 but was just learning the ropes of the
batik technique so there were a LOT of kinks to work out to get the
results that I am getting today!
I am inspired by beautiful fabrics, children's book illustrations,
little cute doodles, vintage cars and the ideas of others! People are
so creative and things that are requested for me to create are quirky
and unique at times. This really says a lot about someone's personality.

I create all of my tee shirts at my huge antique kitchen table and in my
little kitchen! Very grassroots at this point. My things are EVERYWHERE
once I get started on a project for the day!
I chose my shop name because it includes my initials, as well as my daughter's. I didn't name it Custom Batik tees because I eventually want to branch out to other products like pillow covers, bags, pants, etc...
My goals are to grow this project into a full time job in which I own my own boutique and shop like a "paint your own pottery" shop so that others can come and create their own batik designs on tee shirts, pants, bags, pillows.

When not creating I am hanging out with my wonderful family, playing ultimate frisbee and dreaming up the next design!
