Dream Pouches

This is a new concept I've been thinking about: a piece of art in which you can keep all the supplies for your burgeoning dream. Each pouch is intrinsically unique, just like your dreams. No two are even remotely alike. They are created using any and all of the following: my handdyed fabric, vintage fabric, Japanese fabric, designer fabric, handmade felt, embroidery, hand quilting, applique, handwriting, handstamping. The pouches are roomy enough to allow your dreams room to grow but compact enough to go anywhere with you. Each pouch has a zippered top to keep your dreams nice and safe and snug, and a wrist strap to help you keep a handle on them.

Ideas for what to keep in your dream pouch:

journal or blank book

colored pencils

harmonica

binoculars

fancy fountain pen

chocolate

trashy/classic novel

film

embroidery supplies

travel guide to exotic city

crayons

cookie cutters

mandarin oranges

glitter

I don't think I have to tell you that these will make a fantastic gift for the dreamer in your life.

p.s. If your dreams have grown too large for a pouch, these would make a very happy place for toiletries while you're on the road, I'm just saying.

Loveshack for baby: is there anything more special than a new baby? Loveshack Industries has created two items to welcome the newest little bundle of joy into your life.

A soft cotton patch is hand embroidered with the word that comes to mind most easily when thinking of babies: Love. The patch is attached to a sweat shop free organic cotton onsie sized 3-6 months. Since each patch is individually handwritten and embroidered no two are ever exactly alike. Available with pink or ink blue embroidery.

Super soft hand dyed and printed cotton lawn squares are hand tied to a fuzzy cotton flannel backing dyed a soothing shade of pink by me. Unbleached, all cotton batting lends just the right layer of snuggliness inside. Each quilt is one of a very limited edition and unique in all the world due to the infinitely variable nature of the dye. Size is about 41" by 36".

Both quilt and onesie are 100% cotton and completely machine washable.

Loveshack pillows: these are wispy sheets of my super soft hand dyed cotton lawn blended up with some contemporary and vintage fabrics to make cuddly quilted pillows that would make happy companions for a good book and cup of tea. The pillows are backed in my house dyed cotton duck, the perfect shade of gray. Each pillow is one of a very limited edition and unique in all the world due to the infinitely variable nature of the dye. Inserts are 20" feather pillows, covers are easily removable and completely machine washable.

I dye, stamp, and embelish my own fabric, then blend it up into soft and wonderful home goods right here at Loveshack Industries.
