Hello! Thank you for supporting By The Yard Textiles (BTYT)! Our mission is to find and create beautiful fabrics to help inspire your creative mind. We hope to grow into a bigger brand so we can also give back to the community. BTYT was blessed and without family and friends, our shop would not exist.
How did it start? Well, after a painful miscarriage, I (Yuri) was devastated, but soon enough was blessed with my baby. After 6 months of recovering from my C-section, I injured my back. In the midst of recovering and trying to learn how to be a mom for the first time, my domain got hijacked. I went into deep depression and I was no longer able to sew for a living. My back would give out each time I took on a project. Al got laid off. We were broke, scared and tired, but still had hope. Things didn't seem too bad until I was hospitalized. That was when I knew I had to do something different.
As I was thinking about what I could do other than apparel design, I finally realize, "that something" was in front of me all along! As a designer I worked with fabrics everyday and of course designed my own; (I don't know why I didn't think about it sooner!) so I decided to risk it all and opened a shop with the help from family and friends.
Although I can no longer own an alterations & couture shop, that doesn't mean my journey in designing needs to stop! I am so excited to start this new path with all my supporters (including all of my customers). I hope we grow together and may you all be abundantly happy. Thank you again for supporting me and having faith that I will bring you the best textiles at superior quality.
Feel free to ask for custom design orders!
Much love & God bless,
-The Textile Family
