Kind of upset with my new tote bag style. Currently, I have a few totes available at The Cotton Company in Wake Forest as well as available for wholesale ordering. Hopefully I’ll have enough for my shop soon!

What the heck is a Destash??? TLDR: you mail me your old fabric and use the store credit to buy new fabric!

In honor of my last post about linen, here’s my favorite linen item I’ve made so far! I think maybe some pants are up next.

Linen is one of my favorite textiles to use when hand making clothing. It’s lightweight and uses significantly less water than traditional cotton to manufacture. With summer around the corner, it’s the perfect time to make a linen garment ☀️ Shop link in bio
Bags in a rainbow assortment laid out on a wooden table top. Each bag is made of patchwork upcycled fabric in a different color scheme.
A fresh round of wholesale patchwork bags went out last week. I’m really excited to be offering wholesale again on sustainable handmade goods. See my website for full details and to place an order.

Beginning of the knit project on a tray table. Two needles with about ten rows of yarn for the collar of a sweater.
The beginning of a cardigan on knitting needles. It’s the shoulders down to the armpit. No sleeves yet.
The cardigan, knit down a little further now, with four skeins of yarn behind it.

This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops.
Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta.
Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky
The response from the maker was that they have not been tested for this so it could not be recommended
Asking!
A black and white cotton tag that says “thanks I made it” on a white background. Identical tags lay scattered around it.
I’m really excited to have expanded to add a new category — sew in tags! So many new arrivals from Sarah Hearts that are organic and OEKO TEX 100 certified. Link in bio.
