Get to know me

Michelle has always loved clothing and fashion, and recently discovered a passion for sewing that turned into something more — a way to create, to recycle, and to share her love of handmade style. What started as a personal hobby has grown into Homespun Hobbies, where each poncho is carefully designed, cut, and stitched by Michelle herself.

She believes fashion should be fun, expressive, and sustainable. Every poncho carries its own personality, perfect for women who love handmade clothing, enjoy standing out at concerts or festivals, or simply want something cozy and original to wear.

Homespun Hobbies is more than just clothing — it’s Michelle’s dedication, creativity, and hard work woven into every stitch. And as the business grows, she plans to expand beyond ponchos into other upcycled treasures, always keeping the focus on originality, sustainability, and heart.

About Homespun Hobbies

Homespun Hobbies is the creative work of Michelle Hafler, who handcrafts each upcycled poncho with care and passion. Every piece begins with reclaimed shirts and fabrics sourced from local thrift and reclamation stores, which Michelle reimagines into bold, stylish, one-of-a-kind fashion. Our mission is simple: to give new life to forgotten clothing while offering customers unique pieces they won’t find anywhere else.
