Commemorative

I had the distinct honor of creating a commemorative item for a friend whom lost her mother a few years back.  I was given carte blanche to transform her Mamma's favorite tie-dyed shirt into something more her style.   While at first intimidating - cutting up memories!!! - it rapidly became my favorite commission ever.  Blessed.  Honored.  Flattered.

BEFORE

AFTER

Et VOILA!  A long scarf.  And just in time for Mothers Day. One of my goals was to use every inch of the shirt, especially the neckline and cuffs, which usually get discarded.  I am happy to announce I converted the neckline into a necklace and the cuffs morphed into the posies thereon.  Only a wee bag of scraps were left.  As close to Zero Waste if ever there was!

Get Winter Ready with Sweater Salvation!

I know, I know, it's not cold yet, but I hate to break it to you - it will be.  Ratz.  

So... about those damaged sweaters....

Do you have a few that got chocolate syrup and marinara sauce on them?  Can't bear to toss them but can't exactly leave the house wearing them either?  

SEND TO ME!

It's sweater salvation time.  I offer two appliquéd options - the simple, elegant and fun Mod Posie and the complicated, spectacular, studded Frou-Frou Posie.  Which do you prefer?

Carefully designed for good side coverage

Fit considerations:  Halter in the Name of the Law is carefully designed to reduce the dreaded "side boob" problem, has an adjustable waist fit and neckline that can be draped several ways depending on your mood.  Enjoy!

Fantasy vs. Reality - yuck.

Thank you, Ecouterre for these brilliant wake-up-calls

The sensible way to avoid these horrendous aspects of the (current, but hopefully changing?) international garment industry is to buy ORGANIC, Upcycled, MADE IN THE USA.

You didn't think we'd miss a segue into self-promotion here did you?  Not on your life:-)
