herbs in your lingerie drawer




I have almost finished the prototypes for our
lingerie drawer satchets.  There was so many different
kinds of recycled materials to choose from after all
these years of sewing Under The Root designs.  It is
splendid to pull together my enchantment with herbs
and charms.  All that is left is the one inch handle and
enclosure of the herbs inside.  I believe we will be adding
spellcasting cards inside the orders too.  There are options
for personalized, hearts, birds, or vintage buttons.

My decision to use more of the root herbs instead
of flowerettes was scrumptuous, root smells from
the organic and wild harvesting here in the Pacific
Northwest.  I have chosen lemon verbena, rosemary,
eucalyptus, and/or cedar leaf tips.  Of course, not all
used together.  You can hang them in closets,
carry along in suitcases, dream up your drawers, or
leave among any space for the outdoors in your
indoor playlands.

reclaim to wear




















Reclaim to Wear is such a unique and quality team of humankind for the planet.  "The concept of Reclaim To Wear was first introduced by From Somewhere, the pioneering eco fashion label started in 1997 by Orsola de Castro and Filippo Ricci, as a way to design beautiful clothes made entirely from discarded materials and remnants, such as stock, designer surplus and production off-cuts."

























"Reclaim To Wear aims to act as a design standard of excellence, creating new opportunities for textile, fashion and retail companies to collaborate with key opinion makers and designers in order to upcycle and reuse surplus waste and introduce creative design solutions to their waste management systems."

a message from beyond


















"i allowed myself to take the package into the bathroom with me and set it on the counter while i showered. when it was warm and i was relaxed and clean, i opened the parcel.  the recycled packing was welcome and the presentation of the wrapped garment breathtaking.  the vintage picture and the pretty little cards, the ribbon and wrappings.  i was just so impressed with the sensory experience i had ...with the colors and textiles.  i got all powdered and put on my little romper thingy and its awesome!  i giggled and clapped and it fits me great!  you are so talented!  im wearing it to bed tonight!  thanks again for the experience and the memories.  what a fun time..."

This message in response to a handmade Lamignak Lantern UnitSuit, so beautiful and exactly what I seam up inside all these pieces for the precious peoples on the planet.
