About me / About business or organisation:

My background is in Fine art and digital media, and teaching design. I realized I wished to create fabrics, then as I researched more I realized Eco was the only way to go. So I have imported sustainable haberdashery and fabrics and had the fabrics printed in New Zealand. As well as sourcing from Spoonflower on demand printing onto Organic cotton. I put out a newsletter explaining my products and the Eco choices we can make.
