Zoe Long

Zoe Long, owner of Zoe Rae Designs, is a local maker. She has lived in Pensacola for over 20 years and loves it here. She sews fun items, often using custom fabrics she designs herself. She makes everything from bucket hats to pot holders to quilts and loves to put her own unique spin on everything. She also seeks to be as close to zero waste as possible, so she makes unique projects such as fabric-wrapped rope bowls to use my smaller fabric pieces. She truly loves the creative process and coming up with new items to make.
