Upcycled, Recycled, Reclaimed, Pre-loved

No matter what you want to call them, it all means the same thing. And here is why I love pre-loved clothing, especially for kids.

  1. It's a good investment. Let's face it, most kids outgrow clothes long before the clothes are worn out. By taking secondhand finds and making them into new products, I can provide unique handmade items at a lower price. And that means more people get to Support the Handmade Movement!
  2. It feels good. The clothes are softer. The chemicals have been washed out over and over again. Soft baby clothes for soft baby skin.
  3. It's good for the environment. Keep passing it around and keep it out of the trash.

All this week I am posting upcycled shirts and onesies with fun appliques or your choice of monograms, both for gift giving and general wear. Please note that I carefully inspect all items for wear-beyond-repair.

OPEN for business!


Is now open for business! Please share the news!

My first line is something special for the 4th of July.


Organic cotton onesies and organic cotton/recycled polyester blend onesies in gray, red and blue with appliqued designs. Each can be personalized with a child's name if requested. I also have conventional shirts available for toddlers, please send me an email for availability and pricing if you are interested in a larger size.

Shopping Cart Covers

I have had several requests for shopping cart covers. I really prefer to do shopping cart covers and diaper bags as custom orders. This allows the buyer to get exactly what they need - more pockets, different style bags, straps, choose fabric, etc.

More products will be launching soon - stay in touch by following my blog or send me an email and I will send updates directly to you!
