Old pillowcases. Outdated bedspreads. And… feed sacks? These items usually inspire a charity donation or a rummage sale, but for Kirsty Mogensen, creator of Sailor Rose, pillowcases inspired a tailor’s vision. After having her daughter, Kirsty found herself drawn to children’s clothes made from non-conventional fabric — old tee shirts, pillowcases, and yes, even the feed sacks. “Not only did I find these inspiring for their beauty,” she says, “but for their ingenuity and that they retained a history.”
