“This jacket like design actually began with 55” spun silk that I cut and sew’d in an inspiration of simplicity. It is so simple, yet hangs so elegantly and flows so nicely.  Something about it reminds me of a doctor’s coat, I always feel so professional in it.  I feel like I can work miracles.

ONE SIZE FITS MOST!

UNISEX!  “My first sale – the first box had just arrived and I’d just opened it – was to a dear friend, a guitar-playing singer and juggler.  He’d joined the circus for Burning Man and wanted a special robe.  He’s a large man with a fine waist: the shoulders fit to perfection and he crossed the fronts, pinning them to make the v-shape that showed off his figure.” –Cheryl

SIMPLE COTTON OVERSHIRT

"FARMER FRIENDLY" all 100% natural cotton, no additives or coatings, just the wonderful herbal natural dye. The dye for tan is a tannin from the husk of the tropical almond, and it promotes skin health. The dye for the melon is related to the beneficial colour of carrots and is also good for the skin.

Tan or melon, with printing in black.  The black print may vary from stark and bold brown-black, called “bold print”,  to a soft, almost blue-black or charcoal, called “light print”. The black dye is made from scrap iron fermented in local raw sugar water, and thickened with ground tamarhind seeds.

The aroma of these local natural dyes permeates the fabrics, so that they carry the scent of this exotic sub-continent.

One of a kind pieces subject to prior sale

We describe the printing designs, understanding that each piece is a unique one of a kind.

“Body” refers to the printing that goes across the front of the jacket. 

“Arms” refers to the printing that extends out the arms.

 According to the traditional design sense of the block artist, only the front of the jacket is printed. 

For the individual block designs, which are named, see our printing blocks!

Note:  All work is hand done.  Irregularities of printing and dyework are part of the charm of each piece. Cheryl in cotton outfit
