The garments you’ll see here were made in Seattle, mostly by hand, with a little help from a Juki DDL 8700. They are almost entirely made from secondhand materials, including saris, kimono, antique thread from my great-grandmother’s sewing tin, and other fun ingredients. A few new components, such as cotton thread and naturally dyed twill and linen tape, have also been used where necessary. In general, I cut garments for minimal waste, using mostly straight lines and including the beautiful selvages of my often hand-woven fabric. Still, I end up with some fabric and thread scraps. At the moment, many of these are put back into use as materials for young sewists in workshops. When it’s time, they will also be pulped and made into paper! Before that happens, though, I need to complete my goal of putting most of my current paper stock into circulation.

The paper selection shared below was all handmade in communal studios in Chicago and Michigan from 2015 to 2017. It features papers made from many different fibers, including cotton, abaca, kozo, bamboo, flax, linen, and wheat straw. In many cases, I cooked, cleaned, and macerated the fiber for these sheets personally.
