ABOUT EARTHWISE EMPORIUM

OUR MISSION
Hello! My name is Ellen Helms.
The mission of Earthwise Emporium is providing products by repurposing, upcycling fabrics for consumers who make conscious choices to encourage slow fashion and reduce waste. They are concerned about using resources as wisely as they can; they want to reduce what goes into their trash as well as recycling containers and focus on the circular use of products.

All forms of needlework have played a large role in my life, from making clothes for my family, decorating our home, to making gifts and selling at craft fairs.
The passion I bring into my shop includes considering where the fabric came from and who owned it, what plans they may have had for it before they chose to clear it from their stashes. This adds meaning to the process of upcycling fabrics, giving them new life while reducing waste and making sustainable products.
Crafters appreciate and use the project bags and accessory pouches for their knitting, crocheting, cross stitch and/or sewing. Other customers use the small bags for stashing essentials for running errands, storing markers, pencils, crayons or snacks. The larger bags are used as knitting, crocheting, cross stitch project bags or as emergency baby clothes bag in the family car or organizing for a trip, etc.
Customers appreciate the ornaments that honor our faith, country and various holidays; some of these fabrics came from other small businesses that are also working hard!
Packaging, similar to my products, is simple and pretty! Everything is wrapped in white paper tied up with a lovely piece of yarn. All products are wrapped as a gift.
All products are made with the care and attention I put into making things for my family and myself! The process of making them may be a drop in the bucket of repurposing fabrics but it is my hope that others will appreciate these products and join in on living a low-waste life!
Thank you for visiting!
