Mad(rone) About You

The Bite:
Hunting for new cold weather attire? Reiser to the occasion with Madrone Regenerated Clothing. The colorful, fashion-forward line includes warm and cozy sweater skirts - great with tights - for women and girls, stretchy headbands with felted wool flowers for babies, and hats and scarves for the whole fam. Everything's made from used wool and knit jersey clothing from Goodwill that's sorted for fabric and color coordination. Tune in for the new stuff: Make your own regenerated clothing kits with directions, fabric, and pattern (sewing machine required).
Why Care?: 
Opting for clothing made with recycled material saves new resources and helps keep old clothes out of landfills - each American tosses 68 pounds of clothes in the dump annually.
We totally heart these felted wool fingerless gloves (see photo) that'll keep us toasty and still let us play the oboe - um, you know, if we ever decide to start playing the oboe.
Wanna Try: 
Madrone Regenerated Clothing, available online and at the Ballard Farmers Market, Ballard Ave. between 20th Ave. NW and 22nd Ave. NW. Daisy headband, $7; felted woolen mitts, $25-$35; skirts, $20-$160.

Cocktail Fact

For the '90s sitcom Mad About You, Teri Hatcher was considered for Helen Hunt's role of Jamie Buchman but lost out at the final auditions.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters opt for a skirt made from reclaimed material rather than new stuff, we'll keep the weight of nearly 23 giant pandas in new materials out of production.

Super Bite! Especially loved the 23 giant pandas comparison - now there's a fun visual!
