    About

    • Headbands from a combination of new and recycled fabrics to make fresh accessories from discarded textiles.
    • Good, old-fashioned soap, just like your grandma used to make. Crafted with lye, oils (often organic) and essential oil.
    • Fabric grocery & tote bags from upcycled linens and pillowcases, with limitless embroidery and personalization options.
    • Wedding & cocktail napkins from upcycled fabrics for eco-friendly celebrations with an emphasis on sustainability.
    • Custom quilts from upcycled fabrics for eye-popping decor and snuggle-on-the-couch moments.

    Saving the planet, one bar of soap and discarded textile at a time.

    Because superheroes come in all forms, most of them imperfect.

    I don't know if I can claim the superhero title yet. But I have the imperfect part down pretty perfectly.

    I sew (almost everything) using recycled textiles. I make soap (I DREAM about soap). I am a perfectionist, an idealist, and a woman.

    In a nutshell: I am a mother, a wife, a teacher, a seamstress and a soaper. Over the course of a year, I came to realize (through some very tough lessons) that my job, rather than being an obstacle to my creativity, was actually a catalyst for it. Now being several months removed from a series of unfortunate events, I am a better and more fulfilled...everything. I have a razor-sharp focus and am more committed than ever to building an earth-friendly, sustainable part-time business, creating things I love using materials I believe in without the stress and burden of past decisions weighing on me.

    Welcome to my carefully-constructed, hard-won corner of the world. I'm glad you're here.

      I love fabric, soap, dogs, water, reading and quiet. I can't stand willful ignorance, hypocrisy and death metal music.

    Frequently asked questions
    Do you have any current coupon codes, discounts or sales?

    Current sales, discounts and coupon codes are always listed at the beginning of my shop announcement. They change frequently and are often seasonal, so please check back often!

    What do you mean when you say your soaps are natural?

    My soaps contain ingredients that are found in nature: oils, essential oils (for scent), food products, and clays or botanicals (for color). I do not use any synthetic fragrance oils or artificial colorants (including lab-dyed micas). The ONLY lab-created material I use in my soap is lye (which is used in the making of ALL soaps at some point). While I could make my own lye by burning hardwood ashes in my back yard, the lye created in a lab is of consistent strength and quality. My products are as natural as they possibly can be. There are no hidden ingredients. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them!
