Lenzing Tencel ™
 

Tencel fabric is a brand of lyocell fabric. It is made of wood pulp harvested sustainably from eucalyptus forests. Tencel was given the BioPreferred designation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as various other awards for its sustainable production process.  
 

99% of byproducts from the production process (all of which are non-toxic) are recovered and reused. Tencel fabric was my solution for using the naturally derived materials, while not sacrificing the luxurious feel of a soft silky interior, which I feel is a trademark of the original bags I love.  

Silk Dupioni
 

Silk Dupioni is woven with Mulberry silk by hand on a loom.  It results in a textured, slubby, and crisp fabric.

 

A unique quality of silk dupioni is that its warp and weft threads can be different colors, which results in an iridescence when viewed from different angles.   

Silk Charmeuse
 

Silk Charmeuse is everything everyone expects from silk fabric, buttery smooth satin finish, lightweight, and breathable. There are currently 3 color options for silk charmeuse, but more coming soon!    

100% Cotton Print
​

Choose from a selection of 50+ expressive cotton prints. Sourced from various corners of the internet, as well as fabric stores local to Seattle. 

  

These fabric options come and go, so if you see something that makes you giddy, order it while it's in! 

  

See my custom order and wholesale page for more info on custom options! 

Linen

A beautiful fabric for its texture, and drape. I purchase most of my linen from my local fabric store. I like to prewash all my linen before making it into bags. I find it closes up the weave nicely and prevents it from shrinking in the future if you should wash your pouch. 
Indian Block Print Fabric

Handmade in Jaipur, India with natural vegetable dyes. ​ Block printing is a trade and an art that is passed through generations and requires high levels of skill and craftmanship; from creating and maintaining the wood blocks, to procuring the natural dyes, not to mention the printing itself. A deep reverence of nature is reflected in the designs with many of the traditional floral designs serving as a reference to paradise and the eternal gardens.

The result is a beautiful form of functional art which is appreciated and loved by cultures around the world, serving as a representation of the meaningful and artistic interaction between humans and our natural world

100% Cotton Padding
​

Flannel: Adds an extra layer of protection without the fluff of the batting. Creates a very structured bag.

​

Light Padding: Quilters Dream Cotton Batting (Request loft) 

Great for added protection in travel while keeping the bag lower profile.  
 

  

Heavy Padding: Quilters Dream Cotton Batting (Deluxe) 

For when bulk is not an issue and maximum protection is desired. 

  

Note on padding:  

Padding options are included in the price of all pouches containing silk. Tencel and linen pouches will have it as an option for an additional cost. 

​

XL and XXL pouches are all made with heavy padding. If you purchase extra padding for one of these bags, I will add an additional layer of light 

Eco-Print Fabric

As I delved deeper into my love and appreciation for the materials that I use in my craft, I deeply desired the tones and living color that natural pigments produced. I have Nick Neddo's book, The Organic Artist for Kids, to thank for getting me started doing my own botanical printing. This was not a project in his book, nor was it even mentioned, but it was because of the sheer joy in discovery, and slowing down with my children, making our own art supplies and doing the art projects in his book that filled me with such a vital energy, and confidence, that I decided to start botanical printing. I decided to dip my toes in the water by making my own iron water, which I was able to do at home using iron, water, and vinegar.

When I decided I wanted to start making bags to sell, I switched to using a powdered ferrous sulphate, to ensure the purity of the mordant. I am more comfortable working with a metal that is biocompatible and safe for the environment, which was a barrier to me in the past.
 
In natural dyeing, iron is known to generally have a darkening, or saddening effect on the dyestuffs and tannins in many plants. I think it is for this reason that many people are deterred by it, but I find it to be quite charming and provides a great depth of color. The iron happens to create many purple hues with the plants in my area. I have also been able to get olive tones, yellows, and oranges (from onion skins!)

Every bundle and every batch come out differently! Working with nature can be unpredictable at times, and not all plants will produce a dye, there is room for experimentation in every stage of the process. I find it a joy to introduce this element into my work, and to have fabric which is not only inspired by the ultimate muse of the natural world, but it itself is infused within the fabric. It speaks for itself.
