These seedbag shorts are absolutely amazing: soft like modal, perfectly faded, and the branding and labels are great. These and others will be available for sale this Saturday 4/25 from 9-4 at the Lewisburg Arts Council Arts Fest. I'll be in the 600 block like last year, so come find me early because I know these will sell fast!

I woke up yesterday morning and decided it was finally time to cut a beautiful antique lace tablecloth I'd bought from one of my consignors 3 years ago, and I am SO PLEASED with how it turned out! Thank you for sharing this piece with me, Melinda!

I am very excited to announce that I have been accepted to design for an Upcycling and Repurposing Fashion Show, supporting Swap Scranton Dec. 12. I am designing feedbag pants (which are already under construction and 🔥), a tablecloth shirt, and a quilt coat from an awesome 1800s string star quilt. I'm pumped to roll out this design! Stay tuned 👀

This pullover has special meaning because it's the first time I've cut MY family's quilt. My dad's parents used this vintage LL Bean quilt in their spare room and passed it down to me when they downsized. I basically loved it to bits, both because of the emotional connection and because it's the perfect combination of soft and heavy. As many quilts do, it eventually passes its point of being suitable for a bed. So now it's a quilted pullover 🥰 Fits men's XL or women's XL-2X. Live in the Etsy shop now 🍂
