ThimbleScratch's Handmade Story: Video about her Eco-Approach to Making
Article Header Image
Story by brepettis
Published on April 15, 2008 in This Handmade Life 		Photo by Thimble Scratch

Thimble Scratch makes clothing from old clothes, vintage fabrics and industrial remnants that would otherwise end up in a landfill.   

Each unique clothing item is created through experimentation and creativity (from my own drafted patterns and designs) - not mass-produced in a sweatshop. Made from eco and 'green' materials, such as industrial remnants, recycled, vintage, organic, and rescued fabrics.

She made this little video about her approach to eco-making.  Check it out!

May I add a huge rave for thimblescratch? She was the very first person that I purchased from on Etsy! Her garments are amazing and ultra creative! Here I am, in my latest purchase (copains mignon top) from her fab shop:

Craziness, but I think I just saw you at the MTSU Rec Center! Was that you Thinmblescratch? If not you have a secret twin in Murfreesboro TN. I love your clothes and that wacky little doll! Keep up the good work!
