Fine Craft Shows at Chautauqua July 11–13 & August 8 –10, 2025
Everything in my booth used to be a beautiful, soft, 100% cashmere sweater. Using my own patterns I turn used garments into an array of items, including stuffed animals (everything from jellyfish to dinosaurs), baby hats and booties, mittens and "texting mitts", heart garlands, even pillows. I love taking ruined old sweaters and turning them into something useful, lovely, and whimsical. I challenge myself to use every scrap of a sweater (for example, turtlenecks cut from sweaters become cuffs for baby booties). Less trash, more beautiful soft things!
