Perosnality Children's Clothes

The Porch is so excited to include my line of hand-crafted children's clothes, PersonalTy Children's Clothes.  These pieces are cut, sewn, and stitched up by me here in Louisiana with 100% heirloom cotton fabrics, including ginghams and seersuckers.

Meet Your seamstress

Hi! I'm Salinda Barnard.  I'm a Louisiana girl, married to an Arkansas boy, and a Bama and Navy * mom.  As you can guess, we love our football (Who Dat!) and Southern traditions.  


I've been sewing for over 30 years, starting my career sewing for myself, friends in college, my kids, and then my friends' kids.  I've been stitching up custom jon jons and jumpers since 2010 for my customers at Personality Children's Clothes.   


For the past 10 years, I've used my advanced skills and experience to offer local brides custom solutions and excellence in their alterations.


What can I stitch for your special moments?
