Upcycled Collections
Hi! I’m Brooke <3
My Story & Intention
From a nurse who sold all of her things, left with a backpack to explore what was out there, ended up buying a sewing machine while staying in a bungalow in Hawaii, to sewing inside my van & selling on the beach, to discovering the energetics of fabric and naturally a journey that led me to the deep world of the earths palette through plant dyes.
Through the process of learning about plant dyes I have simultaneously learned to see and connect to the world around me. To slow down. To trust. & ultimately to listen & surrender.
To me Sown Of The Earth is a practice of learning to live in harmony to the earth & become in close connection to our plant allies in all of their forms. To discover what is possible with living color, to returning to a practice that is SLOW, tended to with reverence and care, with the understanding of every thought & intention held while crafting these items ultimately has an impact on the wearer.
To bring awareness & purpose to what we choose to adorn our bodies with & how these choices ultimately impact all around us.
Currently creating out of my home studio in Wisconsin.
Find me at your local markets & in a few shops downtown where you can find high quality organic heirloom linen garments made from scratch to finish by hand & I have small batch collections I drop of upcycled clothing that I have hand dyed.
Why Choose Sown Of The Earth?
My Commitment To You
At Sown Of The Earth I only use high quality ingredients. All garments are made of 100% high grade organic linen & plant dyed with all natural dyes. Even the thread & tags I use are organic cotton. I desire to make clothing that is 100% sustainable & nourishing to ones entire being & the earth.
Siulas Factory
High Quality Organic Linen
The 100% organic linen is sourced from Siulas, one of the oldest linen factories in Europe, founded in 1928. Siulas carries European Flax, premium linen fiber, and is OEKO TEX standard 100 certified organic. Europe is found to be one of the best countries for growing flax due to the unique qualities of the region including their soil and cool climates. Additionally linen production is deeply rooted in this area, contributing to the producer’s knowledge of the craft over thousands of years.
Flax stalks are spread out evenly across a grassy field, where the combination of air, sun and dew causes fermentation, which in turn causes there to not be a need for any pesticides to keep critters away. Leading to a sustainable high quality organic fabric.
Quality Dyes
Natural Plant Dyes
I use natural, sustainable plant dyes to infuse each piece with the beauty of nature. Every garment is dyed by hand in my home studio, where I work with organic materials like flowers, roots, and earth pigments to create unique, soulful colors. This slow, intentional process not only ensures each piece is one of a kind but also reflects my committment to sustainability and respect for the earth.
