About
-
I sew on this machine which I inherited from my Grandmother - her name is Bess and she has never let me down.
-
Phasing out old threads and transitioning entirely to 100% Organic cotton threads (from Scanfil).
-
I package up my orders here with my husband's Grandmother's sewing machine. An inspiration board is an office must!
-
More of my inheritance. These threads, though, will never be used.
-
Extras are included with every order (like snapshots or a vintage postcard). That's my Grandfather in the canoe!
An Earthy Inspiration
I grew up in New Hampshire and probably 80% of my childhood was spent outside in the woods or at the lake (even in rain, snow, whatever - I just loved being outside)! I was so lucky to grow up in a rural setting with fresh air, green trees, and a sparkling lake just waiting for me to explore it, and I want to help preserve that in any way I can.
The waste and pollution that the fashion industry today creates is baffling, so to offset that I make sure that I do everything I can to keep my Etsy shop eco-friendly. For example, all of my fabrics are either organic and purchased as close to home as possible or upcycled from reclaimed fabric. I only buy 100% Organic cotton thread (although I am transitioning out older, non-Organic, threads), so it's biodegradable, and all of my packaging supplies (tissue paper, kraft paper, business cards) are made from recycled materials.
Fashion and environmental consciousness don't traditionally go hand in hand, but I'm trying my very best to change that so people will hopefully see that there are better options out there as far as style goes.
Throughout my life I have explored many different methods of creation including painting, writing, knitting, drawing, but I have found that the feeling of feeding beautiful fabric through my Grandmother's Singer is one of my all time favourite feelings, so these days I spend a lot of time holed up in my studio sewing. For my day job I work as the social media manager / event planner / jill-of-all trades for an independent natural foods store, and I also write for the Goodwill Industries International blog (Goodwill.org).
