Monkey

2011-06-18T23:11:00.000-07:00

New Design: Monkey

Using recycled water-bottle felt and upcycled fabric.

This monkey is shown on an ORGANIC Galaxy Blue 18-24M T-shirt.

This particular shirt sold, so I am happily making a new one just like it -- the same yet beautifully different as each shirt is hand appliqued with care. :)

I am in the process of creating some custom orders of the monkey design in different sizes and colors. I will post photos once I have them.

Thanks!

Spring Sunshine

2011-05-16T11:32:00.000-07:00

0-3M ORGANIC white onesie. This little sweetie is entirely eco-friendly using upcycled corduroy and upcycled flannel with felt made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. Bonus: the wing that can flap open and shut in flight is made out of organic upcycled cotton.

Spring Sunshine is so refreshing this time of year in the Northwest so that's how this little cutie got his name. That and because of his bright yellow belly. This is a special order for a customer who suggested yellow and gray be the colors of this little guy. Thank you to Aubrey for the excellent suggestion!

Available Baby Birds!

BELLINGHAM - For anyone who has wondered what satin and empty pill packets have in common, Rebecca Maxim has the answer: they can both be used to make a seriously beautiful wedding gown.

Maxim, an HIV nurse from Seattle, was one of dozens of designers who created inspired ensembles out of recycled goods for the annual Trash Fashion Show, held Saturday, April 23, at Western Washington University.

P.S. The above photo shows what all the little baby bird appliques are capable of -- lifting their wing in flight.

Further Description:

Size 0 -3 M, organic high-quality interlock onesie, white, short-sleeved with handmade bird applique.

The baby bird is made from upcycled fabrics: pink flower-print corduroy and a blue and white striped knit with two additional upcycled corduroy pieces for the wing. Recycled soda-can felt is used to create the beak, feet and eye. The hazelnut-colored flowered wing can be lifted open and shut. The inside of the wing is blue with a bird and flower print.

A canvas Baby Bird Designs label adorns the inside of this sweet baby must-have. This is perfect for the baby bird in your life.

Original design! Each applique design is unique. If you would like to custom order or have any questions please contact me.
