About

Hi! I’m Stephanie, the hands and heart behind H.C. Studio, a small-batch, handmade clothing brand based in northern Michigan. Every piece I create begins as something once loved: a vintage bedsheet, a forgotten tablecloth, a thrifted treasure waiting for new life. I source my materials locally and turn them into one-of-a-kind garments designed to be worn and cherished, pieces made to stay in your story for years to come.

Though I live in Michigan now, my roots trace back to Uruguay, a place that taught me to value warmth, creativity, and individuality. Sewing has become my way of carrying those values forward, connecting with the earth, and creating clothes that help others feel confident, unique, and seen. Each garment carries a bit of my world,  made by hand, with care, and with the hope that it becomes a lasting part of yours.

H.C. Studio is my small, personal attempt to slow down the cycle of waste, to give fabrics another chance before they end up in a landfill. Most of what’s donated to thrift stores never makes it back into people’s closets, by keeping materials in motion, I hope to make sustainability feel beautiful, wearable, and deeply personal.
