Doing it the Eco-friendly Way



Each time we receive new fabric swatches, the old ones at our shop get discarded. In a green city like Vancouver, throwing out something that is perfectly reusable is a crime, so to speak.

Instead of tossing the swatches, I decided to save them to make useful and pretty things out of them like the silk pillow case pictured above. It's soft. It's cool to the touch. It's pretty. But best of all, it's made out of silk scraps!
