DIY with John Patrick Organic & Ecouterre
Date: August 10, 2010 | Category: Fashion, Women
As huge fans of designer John Patrick (his eco-fashion line ORGANIC is constantly sported at ecofab HQ) and of sustainable fashion site ecouterre.com, we were thrilled over the recent DIY article published on how to create a “nouveau-bohemian” skirt out of an old t-shirt. Like we always say, “the greenest product is often the one that already exists,” plus this skirt idea is totally eco and fabulous. All you’ll need is a measuring tape, ruler, disappearing ink pen, scissors, sewing machine, and thread (and the old shirt of course). Take a look at the before and after below and then hop on over to ecouterre for the full instructions!

Hot Mama

Few will argue that hospital maternity gowns top the list of fashion’s worst nightmares – is there anything less stylish than a boxy cloth sack revealing your entire backside? Now add the fact that standard gowns are washed in all sorts of nasty chemicals in the name of “disinfectants” and you have one of the least desirable items to sport when welcoming in your new bundle of joy. Guess what ladies, you’re not the first mama to raise this concern. (more…)
