Welcome to our first ever Lookbook! I might be using that word loosely, but my intention is for you to have a look at what will be released tomorrow and how to order online at Imagination Creation Showcase. If you want direct links for each item, sign up below for email notificiation. (In addition to the items below we will have RTS including one of a kind items that match the Love From Alaska appliques). I designed this release with a mini capsule that you could purchase seperates. Some items will match well with future releases, such as the herringbone, and some will be very limited, such as the blue color option. I'll try and note that as we look...
July Releases! (update to add that the July 1st release is being rescheduled) We have lots planned, and some new ways for you to get notified when things go live!

My first small business was started back in 2003/2004 selling dyed hemp and organic cotton fabric by the yard, and handmade clothing made from those fabrics. I did solid dyed and what I termed "marinaded". Those days seem so long ago, but I recently tried my hand at it again again, and found my love for doing it hadn't died!

Soon you'll be able to purchase adult and child cocoon cardigans as well as layered/gathered circle skirts. We will start by offering a one color- marinade (in avocado, rust, and eggplant) and a multi colored...
Have you ever wondered what a "drop" is or what "tat" means? Slow Fashion or Small Shops might have a few abbreviations or terms you're unfamiliar with - until you know, and then it explains a lot! When I was first asked, "what's your TAT?" I started to describe what my tattoos, happy to share - but wondering what that had to do with sewing. I soon found out that TAT stands for Turn Around Time (the time it takes to for items to ship after they are ordered). This is important in Slow Fashion when items might not be made until you order. Sometimes this is because as a small shop, it's hard to invest the resources in a...
One of my personal goals has been to slow down. As a mom to a young (and very energetic) son, a wife, part-time barista, and full-time owner/designer at Sew Beyoutful – slowing down is a challenge. I know I’m not alone, no matter what your “job title” or responsibilities are. We live in a world that is fast! Everyone wants everything at every moment of our day it seems. Every day. As a small handmade business, we talk about Slow Fashion and the intentionality behind it. Quality, sustainability, fair wage/trade, and less waste are all things that go into Slow Fashion. So, trying to apply some of those same practices to my life and business, I’ve been thinking of ways...
