People have been dealing with Laura Michelle Smith and the drama/theft/psychotic behaviour that follows her for years. She's known online for being a thief, stalker and general lunatic. She recently decided to open up her own seamstress business despite having no education in business, seamsty or the like. Her business is currently called Cobblestone & Cloth, although she's changed it's name several times to try and hide from her terrible reputation. Other names she's used include Canada Cloth Diaper Clinic, Seamingly Sew and Throwing Threads.

This "woman" copied MANY of my seamstry designs, attempted to use the designs to create her own "work" (if you can even call it that.... her "clothing" so closely resembles something a child would make. I can't even call her an amateur because her "designs" are literally that awful.) When called out on her theft, she called me a handful of racial slurs and threatened to come to my place of business and physically harm me as well as my loved ones and my child. (Yep. She threatened to hurt my child despite being a "mother" herself. Although calling her a mother is being gracious because she's about as bad off as the typical welfare mom.)

You can read a ton about Laura and her abuse at the following websites:

Seems she has a habit of doing this to people, particularly people she's envious of. She has a past of harassing, stalking and threatening people on twitter, stopping briefly when reported to the police then starting up again. Clearly has too much time on her hands and probably several undiagnosed mental illnesses. 

Protect yourself and do not give this con artist your money.

theft

AUTHOR: Sheila C - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 14, 2017

I thought I would add a public notice for any unsuspecting individuals who are considering employing this individual. It has come to my attention that Laura Michelle Smith Hamilton of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada has started yet another scam business. (Previously known as the Indigo Fledgling, Cobblestone and Cloth, and Canada Cloth Diaper Clinic.)

 

Elle Design is Laura's latest attempt to steal your money. She has copied her designs from the Wild Kids Apparel, a very famous design company located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Laura can be found selling her stolen goods at trade shows in the Hamilton area and greater Toronto area.

 

She is currently selling more stolen goods under the name "Elle Design", "Elle Designs", and "Elle Design Studio." Laura Michelle Smith Hamilton has an extensive history of fraud, scamming, and criminal harassment. Her extensive history is documented at http://www.theindigofledglingblog.wordpress.com

 

I would advice everyone in the Hamilton and Toronto area to exercise extreme caution when dealing with Laura Michelle Smith Hamilton and her many scam businesses. I have attached a photo of what Laura looks like, as well as photos of her stolen products.

She's back!

AUTHOR: Kels - (USA)

Laura Smith Hamilton has moved on to yet ANOTHER scammy business. This is "business" number three. Her previous business "Cobblestone Cloth" was shut down only months after opening when Laura was discovered to have been scamming her customers (collecting funds but never shipping out items) and her mother Brenda Smith was the real designer creating the clothing that Laura claimed to have made. 

She previously claimed to have been attending Mechanical Engineering classes at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This was yet another lie, discovered after real students in the class got in touch with some of her victims and confirmed that not only has she not attended a single class, but she was never enrolled at all. All of this was confirmed by the professor himself.

Shamed into hiding in 2014 after threatening to have several women r**** by her "husband" Emmanuel "Tiwaz" Hamilton, an apparent MMA instructor at the Hamilton School of Martial Arts & House of Champions. Emmanuel also has ties to Maple City Cagefighting in Chatham, Ontario, Cable 14 in Hamilton, Ontario and Fight Planet/Fight Network in Hamilton/Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The police are well aware of this deranged couple and have issued a warning to the general public several times in the past.

She is now claiming to run another small business, as well as claiming to be a designer, mompreneur and TFI (Toronto Fashion Incubator) Outreach Member. She is now going by the name "Dangerousfrank" as well as "L Smith Hamilton" and "Lola". Do not give this woman your time or your money. She is a career scam artist, a liar and a total psycho. She has zero knowledge of fashion, design or seamstry and should be avoided at all costs.

BEWARE and warn REAL TFI members here:

Untrue.

This article is total nonsense and was written by a woman named Laura Smith Hamilton who runs a scam operation called "Cobblestone and Cloth" in Hamilton, Ontario. This Laura woman is obsessed with Kay and her fiance and really jealous of them to the point of posting this filth. The police have been notified and are aware of Laura's psychotic behaviour and her neglecting her son to stalk Kay 24/7 and are pursuing legal action against her. You can read all about that here: http://laurasmitharchive.blogspot.com and here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurasmithhamilton/sets/72157644690522463/ and here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurasmithhamilton/sets/72157644690522463/

You will want to avoid this woman and all of her businesses. She has one business but has changed it's named many times to hide from her shady past, including canada cloth diaper clinic, cobblestone cloth, cobblestone and cloth, throwing threads, seamingly sew and more.

 

Avoid her etsy channel etsy.com/shop/CobblestoneCloth
