The Diva Set

Today I want to share one of my custom made items.  A lot of my customers like to purchase sets from me.  This one is a hat and scarf set that I created.    I call it the Diva Set.

The hat is double stranded crocheted and wide brimmed.  The scarf is extra long and skinny.  Perfect for the Diva in you!  If anyone is interested in a set like this, it could be purchases from my etsy shop online at SMH Studios & Designs.  You can also order it custom made from me directly. 

Ta-Ta for now my lovelies!

My Hottest Sellers....Crowns

Hello my fellow fashionistas!

I just wanted to share with you all today my most popular accessory...my soul crowns.  Anything I put on my head is called a crown and everything I do - I put my heart and soul into and this is where the name is derived. 

The most popular crown: basic ball cap in Camouflage (my very own custom design)

The Cadet Crown - The flipped bill is sick, right?!

 

The Righteous Rasta is most popular with those who have long hair...and of course, Rastas!

The Tam - an enclosed version of the Righteous Rasta

 

By far, my soul crowns were the most ordered item from my shop and still is.  They are my number one request.  I have to say that I am more than elated about this as I am often called the queen of accessories!

Feel free to ask me about my favorite patterns for head gear or about my own custom designed crowns.  As always, I usually have some crowns for sale in my shop on etsy!  Visit SMH Studios & Designs Shop here.

Until next time my fashionable friends...

New Direction for SMH Designs

I recently moved back to Atlanta from Toronto.  During my year in Canada, I decided to put SMH Designs on hold.  I wanted to go in a new direction and breathe new life into this business of mine. 

Now that I am back in my hometown, it is time that I begin anew and re-vamp designs.  I have a lot of new and exciting things in the works.  Don't worry all the old works will be there as well and better than ever, including my menswear, my children line and my lingerie line, Kinky Krochet.


I am adding other talents to my product mix as well.  So please stay tuned for new works and new designs.

Much luv
The artist

My Business and Service Style

This is a unique service and I would like to take this opportunity to share my procedures and style of service with you.

Turnaround Time

It takes approximately six to eight weeks from initial consultation to delivery of your completed garment. Unforeseen complications in design changes, fittings, the search of "just the right fabric and findings," and family needs may affect the delivery date. Long-time clients will have a shorter turn around time as fewer decisions need to be made on each project. Rushing in the planning stages can lead to poor choices. Each client is important to me and receives every consideration that I can give.

Fitting Appointments

Please be on time for all appointments (or call), wear suitable lingerie and either wear or bring the correct shoes. Due to the importance of proper foundations in fitting, I will not fit you without them. An additional $20 fitting fee will be charged and a new session scheduled.

I will notify you if it becomes necessary to change an appointment, and it would please me if you would do the same. Call or leave a message on my answering machine.

Fees

My price sheet explains set fees for specific garments. Other fees will be estimated. Prices include consultations, phone calls, design planning and changes, fabric preparation, precutting the paper pattern, cutting out garment, sewing, fitting, pressing, and final delivery/billing. Garments require a %50 deposit and full payment upon delivery.

Patterns

I have accumulated an extensive collection of fine patterns in a range of sizes from which you may select, or you may purchase your own pattern. Although the final choice will be yours, selecting the right pattern and fabric to create the desired effect is the very essence of my role in consulting on each project.

Fabrics

An investment wardrobe deserves to be constructed of the best fabric you can afford. Natural fibers will be your best in fabric choices. Your job will be to purchase the ultimate choice and mine is to pretreat the fabric and purchase the necessary findings (findings are added to the price of the custom project).

A lot of thought and consideration goes into each new client's project. Since I specialize in investment clothing, the garments we create should work in your wardrobe for many years. I will become acquainted with each of you, getting to know your lifestyle and clothing needs. This enables me to better guide you.

I look forward to working with you.

Respectfully,



Erica Skrine

On the horizon for SMH!

seele mit herz is growing very fast these days!

Some things to look for on the horizon of SMH are:

¨ Menswear collection

¨ SMH Swimwear

¨ Kinky Krochet - lingerie by SMH

¨ Rasta Wear

¨ SMH Soul Crowns - crown (hats) collection

Seele mit herz is a home gone business and with that said, it is official that seele mit herz has outgrown the current home we are in. A new home is on the way!

A fashion show is also in the works for seele mit herz as well! Please stay tuned for more news!

What is seele mit herz, LLC?

seele mit herz, LLC is an all encompassing artistic company. This is my eclectic liberation. seele mit herz is not just about fashion....although fashion is the first artform that I fell in luv with....but also my sketches and literature.

So apart from seele mit herz designs you will also find my drawings and literature. Fashion is in the forefront because it is my passion, it is the first way that I can express myself.
I choose to be innovative in my fashion in that I sew and crochet and knit. I do it all...no factory workers, no machines (except my two sewing machines). My handmade fashions and accessories are top of the line and let's face it, you just don't find custom handmade pieces like this anymore.
seele mit herz means "soul with heart" and that's what I put into my fashion, artwork and literature.
My fashion style is not posh fashion nor haute couture....but rather edgy and expressive.
My literature is not classical but rather elusive and transcending....
and my artwork, well they have a story of their own to tell. This is where you can see my attention for detail. I choose to draw what will force me to be detail oriented...hopefully seele mit herz customers will see that.


Much luv,
e

I am always open to accepting new models.

With that said, please understand what I am looking for:
Real people. Not that I don't have love for you professional and aspiring models but my designs are about real and unconventional people. seele mit herz is not exactly runway fashion but rather "everyday you being yourself, self expression" fashion.
seele mit herz is wearable art....so if you are ready to become one with a masterpiece
write me and let's get to creating!
Understand that this is not a paid gig...as seele mit herz is in the start-up phase right now. I am seeking people of all diverse backgrounds.
People with natural hair is a plus! Facial hair on men is a plus! Multiracial people is a plus!
I am in need in more male models and plus size models.
Please contact me if you are interested and we can get to work!
Much luv and Jah bless
