Dana Bontrager is the creator of Dana Marie Designs (formerly Purrfection Artistic Wearables). Since 1984, Dana has made a career of "thinking outside the fashion box", constantly stretching design and sewing conventions to develop new skills and creativity. Working from her studio in the Pacific Northwest, she designs fashion patterns to enable the wearable artist to create unique, eye catching garments that are both casually simple and wonderfully imaginative.
Dana's innovative line of patterns have been featured in Sew News, Threads, Australian Stitches, FiberArts and Creative Machine Embroidery.
