Loveworn is...upcycled clothing from recycled t shirts. Hip do-overs.

Since 2010 I've been a hunter/gatherer happily searching thrift stores and resale shops for t shirt treasures and turning them in to one of a kind pieces of art. In the past 10 years I've recycled over 90,000 t shirts! Saving the planet one t shirt at a time.

Little did I know, my sewing skills would be put to the test in March of 2020. It began with my need to get groceries. Given what we were learning about COVID 19, I knew I needed a mask. Putting my 30 years of sewing experience to work I designed a mask I felt safe and comfortable putting myself and family in. Two months later, I’ve distributed over 3,500 masks using a mile and a half of elastic and recycled over 700 t shirts! I am so grateful to use the gifts God has given me to help keep others safe. My goal, to do my best to get masks to anyone in need and to employ women who sew and need income. You all have stepped up in a big way and I am eternally grateful. Once again, saving the world, one t shirt at a time. ️
