Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you find quilts and textiles?
I source materials from antique shops, dealers, and secondhand shops. A few textiles come directly from my personal collection that I have accumulated over the years.
Why does this have a stain or tear?
Because of the age and condition in which many textiles were kept, discolorations, tears, and imperfections are to be expected. If a tear is substantial, I do my best to repair using visible mending techniques.
How do I clean my bandana or jacket?
All items have been cleaned before being repurposed. I recommend hand washing and line drying your bandana or jacket. Hanging outside in the fresh air is also a great way to get rid of odors.
What is the difference between the Pieced Bandana and the Scrappy Bandana?
Scrappy Bandanas are made using leftover pieces of vintage quilts that I use in making quilt coats. For the Pieced Bandanas, I use unfinished quilt blocks and strips and add secondhand or new fabrics to make bandana squares. Those squares are then quilted with flannel or flannel batting and a backing fabric.
What does one size fits many mean?
Because the quilt coats are oversized, they can fit a range of sizes. Coats are drafted using myself as the fit model. I typically wear standard sizes L/XL/14/16. Check item listing for specific measurements.
Do you take commissions?
At this time I do not take commissions for custom-made quilt coats.
Where do you ship?
Orders shipped within the United States and Canada ship free by USPS First Class or Priority Mail. International orders ship via USPS. If you would like an order rushed or sent overnight, please make a note in your order.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes? I am still figuring out the most efficient way to offer local pickup. If you are in the Ithaca, NY, area, and would like a local pickup, make a note in your order and I will be in contact.
Do you offer refunds/returns?
Unfortunately, I am unable to offer refunds or returns unless it is defective. Minor flaws such as tears, spots, and discoloration are not defects but are part of the character of old textiles. All sales are final.
