I cannot say enough great things about Cari. She is creative, easy to work with, responsive, and an overall pleasure. I love my new wristlet that she helped me create from scratch. Cannot recommend her enough!!

This is the perfect size back for tooling around town or while on vacay. Not a big fan of crossbodies out front, so I wear this over one shoulder and put it behind me, sitting on my hip. I get so many compliments! High quality with perfect construction and nice extra touches.

I didn’t even need this - I just loved the fabric and knew I would find a use for this perfectly sized little bag. I was not wrong! Everything I get is enjoyable and useful, and looks great. Items always arrive quickly, too.

I sent some inherited and gathered fabric to Cari to make a vendor apron for me. It was BEYOND PERFECTION! I got so many compliments from customers and other vendors. I'm so pleased with the quality and would definitely recommend working with her!!

About TreehuggerCreations

Sales 395

On Etsy since 2010

The first step is collecting the "fabric", including tablecloths, bedsheets, pillowcases, shower curtains, etc.
Every creation begins with stacks of repurposed fabric and some pondering of what could be created.
Finally the home stretch, the one woman photo shoot in my sunny living room.
Then the sewing begins, one piece at a time.
And sometimes a little magic, my messenger bag was included in the magazine Altered Couture (Spring/Summer 2018).

Unique and Sustainable Designs Made with a Purpose

Treehugger Creations offers quirky, upcycled, one of a kind bags made from materials that once served another purpose such as bedding, a shower curtain, drapes, a tablecloth or even a pair of my husband’s old pants. I seek out the slightly unexpected and pair them together to make unique and useful items while trying to maintain a focus of conserving what I can by managing what I use.
Treehugger Creations came from a lifetime of conservation on a personal scale that can be traced back to a family philosophy of making do with what you have. This philosophy paired with a desire to create one of a kind items has motivated and inspired my work. I aim to give new uses to everyday items with the intention of making a fun and useful product for someone to enjoy.
