Made with love in Chicago

Hi I’m Sarah, I’ve been sewing since I was a little kid, and I collect hobbies. I love trying new things, and it’s an exciting adventure to take my creativity and turn it into a business.

In the twenty-teens I was already starting my journey to a thrifted and ethical wardrobe, but in 2020 I suddenly found myself with the drive to create my own clothing. I began sewing for myself and sometimes for friends, with the occasional knitting or crocheting project as well. By 2022 I was finding myself “accidentally” wearing fully me-made outfits which was very exciting!

In summer of 2023 I was suddenly laid-off, and as I assessed my options in the job market, I realized I wanted to take a leap of faith and start a monetized creative project, and thus Revamped Thread Co was born. It is so important to me to reuse and upcycle items that already exist in the world, and to do what I can to reduce my participation in unethical manufacturing across the globe. I hope when you wear these one of a kind pieces they bring you as much joy as it brings me to make them!
