Everything in my booth used to be a cashmere sweater. Beautiful soft cashmere is washed in hot water and run through a hot dryer. Using my own patterns, I cut and sew the sweaters into stuffed animals, mittens and texting mitts, baby hats and booties, and home goods, including garlands and pillows. My personal challenge is to use every last scrap of a sweater!
I am a reformed attorney who always had a side hustle in the arts. During COVID I took out a bag of damaged cashmere sweaters from the back of my closet and began experimenting and a business was born. I retired in early 2023 and have devoted myself to making beautiful soft things out of "up-cycled" cashmere sweaters.
