About

Textiles. Creating. Repurposing. The things that I am passionate about are here. As a long time sewer, maker, and creator....I offer one of a kind creations using up-cycled textiles, imagination, and respect for materials.

Fabrics come from thrift shops, auctions, donations, etc. Although it is not costly in money, it is time intensive to 'harvest' and prepare fabrics for reuse. Being aware of the textile waste in our world has prompted me to reuse all that I can (and soap box about fast fashion at every opportunity). Google 'Fast Fashion'...you'll understand my passion.

No new fabrics are harmed in the making of any items in this shop!

Repurposed fabrics do not have to be flour sack dresses! The creative possibilities are endless--and for now my efforts are focused on Bucket Hats....who knows where my passion for repurpose will lead me next!?!

Ridiculously fun to make, LOVEpiecefully Bucket Hats are a walking billboard for reducing textile waste while you look great!

Rewind to the beginning of the pandemic. In 2020 when no PPE was available for nurses and doctors. I thought I could help in some small way, so I dug out my sewing machine and started sewing. Soon, my husband and I were making and donating masks....lots and lots of masks. We worked at this full time 'job' for months and months. Working with the AUNTIE SEWING SQUAD on FB, he and I made and donated nearly 9,000 masks and sent them to people in need all over the country. Un-homed, migrants, our indigenous population...the forgotten folks.

The thing about making 9,000 masks is that you create a TON of fabric scraps.I knew that I could not just toss these pieces of fabric out.

But, what to do with it all? Lots of things. Wall hangings, dog beds, hot pads, placemats....and BUCKET HATS!

Tremendous resources are used to create fabrics, we need to use them to their fullest before we are done with them. It's just the right thing to do.

So, wear a reclaimed fabric hat....no doubt friends will ask you where it came from. You can start a great ECO-centered conversation, and you will be an environmental hero!
