About Irene

Musician, seamstress, knitter, crafter, blogger.  I LOVE to make things, play with colours, create music with other musicians. 


Lili Eco Cloth came about because a number of things happened at the same time: 

1. My very good friend Laura gave birth to her first child,
   
2. I became pregnant for the first time (due October 2015!!), and
3. I made a set of 8 cloth napkins for my family from some leftover fabric I had around.

It's amazing how some seemingly innocuous things can come together to get you thinking about new ideas and changing paradigms.  

• Because of our new babies, Laura and I started talking about baby related topics, including healthier living, cloth diapers, cloth wipes and other baby accessories.
  
• As an extension of that, the cloth napkins I made got me thinking about the effect other disposable products we use have on the environment, particularly our beautiful forests and the processes used to make paper towels and facial tissues.

Slowly, the idea of how to reduce our paper waste in the home, creating fun baby things and my passion for sewing and creating came together in my new venture.  Please check out Lili Eco Cloth on Etsy to see my full selection of products for home and baby!  I hope you will enjoy! 

With every 25 items sold on Etsy, I will make a $25 donation to Canada World Youth Aboriginal Youth Leadership Programs and the Council of the North (Anglican Church of Canada).


** Many thanks to Laura Bowler for all the amazing photography of all the products! **
