Kaersten contacted me and asked if I would be interested in receiving some fabrics from MARGE clothing. They are a conscientious and ethical company, only sourcing fabrics from ethical manufacturers in Europe and USA; in addition to this they don't believe in waste. I was very generously offered remnants and samples to turn into garments of my own.
I said yes immediately and was (and still am) so touched by the kindness and generosity of this offer. I don't indulge myself in luxurious fabrics for financial reasons and also because I'm scared my sewing skills don't warrant luxury fabrics. It's one thing to mess up a dress you're making out of a vintage sheet, a very different thing to mess up a gorgeous piece of silk!
When the box of fabrics arrived I was like a child at Christmas! If you've read "The Dressmaker" or seen the movie I definitely had my Sargent Farrat moment dancing around with the beautiful fabrics!
Working with these beautiful fabrics will be a marathon, not a sprint. I want to do these gorgeous fabrics justice.

It is nothing short of remarkable that this company, who really live their ethical views of fabric sourcing and manufacturing, reached out to me. I have so much admiration for the fact that they put people ahead of profits and only use ethically made fabrics.
MARGE clothing is currently having an amazing "Gratitude Sale" with 40% off the F/W 2015 line. Now is the time to purchase yourself something exquisite and timeless. This is truly a very special company who deserves our support.
Thank you again for this gift, I appreciate it more than my words can express.

What amazing generosity from MARGE and I'm happy all of the fabrics have found a good home with you. I feel like companies with the ethics and values that MARGE espouses are few and far between. I can't wait to see all of your creations in the months to come!
