In our family we have a saying: Fabric Speaks. It speaks love and care, patience and art, thoughts and prayers. When an item is made and put into someone's hands, the item speaks all of those things. Without any words.
I use old jeans that would otherwise be thrown out (the ones with damage that are not able to be re-sold) to make beautiful, sturdy and functional market bags, totes, small zip bags and more. I also offer cloth napkins to help you reduce waste and live a beautiful eco-friendly life. These items are family-tested, practical and affordable. Fabric other than denim is also repurposed as much as possible, and I buy new fabric to build coordinating sets and to fill any gaps in my shop. Repurposed is always my first choice.
My studio is smoke and pet free, and it is a space of joy, health, and useful work.
I personally use every type of item that I sell and I make each one as strong, practical, beautiful and low waste, as if it were for my own family.
I hope this speaks care for you, your family and our environment.
Happy living!

5 out of 5 starsI just started my shopping for Christmas, 2021, with this purchase. The towel quality is perfect and the honey-bee themed accent fabric will make my bee-keeping daughter smile.

5 out of 5 starsReally sweet little cards. I’ll use some of these as special Valentines for my kids, in lieu of Hallmark cards that soon get thrown away. When tucked into a birthday card or thank you note, there’s room on the back to write a tiny note of encouragement and love.

My sweet daughter did my logo. My family is such a joy and help.

I love the outdoors. It is a refuge, and an inspiration.

I like to use every scrap of everything-look at all the scraps in this king size quilt! It has many memories in it.

I spent half of my life in England, and it holds a special place in my heart. My work is influenced by my time there.

I love to sew with fabric that I collect in a variety of places. And when I find fabric that I love, it speaks what it will be.

Color variation
Most of my tote bags are made from repurposed denim jeans. Some are made using the reverse side of the denim as the outside of the tote. This gives a beautiful look. There is minor color variation and imperfections in repurposed denim.
