“A shadow box of memories, from the creation of the first pattern to the final stitch.”
Founder and Creator
It began with a personal journey of mindfulness, clearing away energy that no longer serves me. In a moment of deep vulnerability, an intention was born: a blessing of protection and renewal, guiding me forward to a more positive space.
Through this process, I arrived at a powerful realization; that in the end, I simply am. I chose to acknowledge the negative that surrounded me as something not to carry, but as something to transform. From that, I found a new direction rooted in strength.
Creating a thread-born doll as a vessel to clear what no longer serves me through a simple mindful process.
Long before they became one-of-a-kind companions, each Threadborn Doll began as a forgotten scrap of vintage fabric, quiet fragments of dresses, aprons, table linens, and quilts that once lived entire lives of their own. These textiles carried memories: sun-faded summers, family gatherings, hand-me-down laughter, and the soft wear of time.
I search for these vintage and new fabrics, one piece at a time, listening for the ones that feel like they still have a story to tell and a new adventure to explore. When I find them, I wash and restore them gently, treating them like heirlooms. Vintage or new fabric, no two stitches fall the same, and no two dolls are ever alike.
Each doll’s personality emerges stitch by stitch, guided by the fabric’s history and personality, sewn by my hands.
A floral cotton might become a hopeful dreamer who loves gardens. A patched quilt scrap becomes a traveler who has already journeyed through decades. A faded linen might hold the quiet wisdom of a grandmother’s hands. Because the fabrics are vintage, their scars are part of their magic; frayed edges, softened colors, tiny imperfections. These are not flaws, but the proof that every Threadborn Doll has lived before, and is ready to live again.
Every doll is a small, soulful piece of textile history; rescued, reimagined, and hand-stitched into art you can hold.
They aren’t just dolls.
They’re stories made tangible.
They’re memories made new.
They’re intentions released into the universe.
Do I Have Your Attention?
The word Vodou carries a history far deeper than the image many of us have come to recognize through popular culture.
At its roots, Vodou grew from traditions centered around spirituality, ancestry, community, protection, healing, and finding balance within the forces that shape our lives.
Over time, popular culture created a very different story—one filled with dolls, pins, curses, control, and fear. That portrayal has often overshadowed the deeper traditions behind the name.
La-Voodoo takes a different path.
This is not about controlling another person.
It is about reconnecting with yourself.
Whatever you believe, the intention is simple: create a quiet moment to acknowledge what you're carrying, shift the energy that no longer serves you, and move forward with greater intention.
Challenges into growth.
Negative into positive.
Hardship into light.
Your doll becomes a symbolic companion along that journey—a reminder that while we cannot always choose what comes into our lives, we can choose what we carry forward.
Your energy. Your intention. Your journey.
Come take a journey back to yourself.
Life Repurposed.
