I’ve just added a few more new designs to the online store.

This is one of two colour block designs, made with a soft heavier linen.

Happy Fall everyone!
It’s magical out there 🍂

Thanks @little.jaded for modelling.

Jane dress in iron.

Pockets and lots of soft linen, this is a nice weight for cooler temps.

This is the long version, there’s also a short version.

I was listening to a Jane Fonda interview when I designed this, so first called this Jane Fonda, now it’s just Jane. I can’t think of Jane Fonda w/o thinking about her aerobics videos from the 80’s. I used to “help” my mom do them.

More info on this new favourite in the online store. This dress looks great with or without the belt.
A top version (and two more new tops) should be available later in the week.

New colour- this is Earl Grey in this very soft heavier weight linen twill- a nice fall/winter/spring weight.
I really love this colour, it’s simultaneously a warm and cool tone!

I have a few new designs and a few new heavier weight colours available & more to be added very soon!

Everything is made to order- I have around 10 colour options right now-5 new ones!

I finally cut down the indigo patch. This was such a generous & satisfying crop. Every time I cut it down it fiercely grew back. Big thanks to @wadeswagar who took care of pretty much all the feeding and watering- he was always aerating manure tea this summer and it really seemed to pay off for the whole garden.
I cut down an overflowing wheel barrow today and hung to dry. Sometime this winter I’ll experiment with the pigment extraction method. All the stalks that have flowers I put in water to hopefully seed for next year.

Some new designs and colours for the changing seas

Some new designs and colours for the changing season coming very soon, I should have the online store updated by next week.

This is peek of the new jumpsuit in a very soft and cozy linen
(it’s true! on top of all linen’s eco cred it can also be cozy) colour is bark.

Thanks @rozakalashnikoff for this!!

I’m a little behind schedule.
I do have some new fall colour in this gorgeous cozy linen twill and a few new designs coming very soon.
As I doddled with flowers and these photos -taking several because the light was changing and I played around with shadows- I laughed about why I’m behind schedule.

First slide- new colour Bark- in the Cypress dress

second slide new colour Clay in the River dress.

Shifting into fall.
The days are getting shorter, I’m saving as many flowers as I can- Dyeing with these in the darkest days of winter will be a treat.

I do love and am excited about winter!

a few summer feelings-
beautiful & terrifying
fun & anxious
abundant & destructive

and many other complicated feelings.

*I posted this before I learned about the fires in Kelowna and Cathedral lakes which happened today, and I looked at the fire map- which I’d been avoiding. Now I only feel a very deep despair.
