Item Description:
Pullover made with a handmade quilted fabric and vintage linens beautifully printed with vintage patterns. Each piece of fabric has been lovingly sewn and put together by hand. The sqaured off neckline is wonderfully cozy with a drawstring to adjust the opening. This garment will soften with wear. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with a small amount of detergent and no fabric softener. To soften without wear, tumble dry on low for about 10 minutes, then air dry.
About the Artist:
I was lucky to have been raised by creative parents. My mom owned her own sewing/alterations business (who was also a big fan of thrift stores/junk shops), so it's no surprise that I love being in my sewing room and in thrift stores and at estate sales. After I graduated from college and began working in higher education (I'm a college professor), I realized that I needed a hobby to help me get through the semester (it's fun, but...then there's grading!). In 2005, my hobby became my creative alter-ego, Ms. Elaineous. All of this eventually blossomed into a passion for combining art, sewing, shopping (second-hand), and conservation; I take pre-owned items and turn them into more eco-friendly fashion. My work is all about giving a second life to tees, linens, fabric, and quilts by making them into unique patchwork coats, ponchos, belts, bags and other accessories. It’s my way of making fashion sustainable and special—each piece has its own story and style. This isn’t just about looking good; it’s about making a positive change in how we think about clothes and accessories
