This is what I'm doing today.

And by what I'm doing today, I mean:
I am watching this over and over again.

PURPLISSIMO purple skirts

I just made a batch of skirts in purple. PURPLISSIMO! Each one is handmade from a mix of new and recycled materials, then garment-dyed to the perfect level of fun. Most of them have a number of pockets and there are always some surprise patterns and details from overdyeing an eclectic mix of repurposed pieces. They are voluminous but lightweight and have a wide comfy waistband made of two layers of stretchy cotton.

Secret Lentil: Now at Magpie Custom Creations!

Great news for Southern Tier New Yorkers:
Secret Lentil is now available at Magpie Custom Creations in Cortland, New York. Magpie is a super sweet little shop tucked into an old corset factory and full of nice handmade things. The perfect spot!

Right now there are clothes in stock, 

 plus cotton armwarmers and linen cuffs.

 

You may recognize Magpie's uber-proprietress Stacey from around the Secret Lentil customer pages.

She's ... an enthusiastic wearer of the lentil:

Stop in at Magpie next time you're in the area, and tell Stacey that Helen sent you.
