Hi! I’m Madeline - the hands, heart, and vision behind Thread Garden. Every piece you see here is designed, cut, sewn, and packaged by me in my Colorado home studio. From start to finish, each step is intentional and meant to bring you comfort that lasts.
After graduating with a degree in fashion design in 2016, I spent two years creating festival-inspired pieces born from my love of live music and color. Like any human out of college, I was still finding myself. I didn't know it at the time, but my values were shifting and I was slowly planting roots for designs that were even more aligned.
In 2018 I became fed up with my underwear drawer. It was full of polyester, scratchy lace that became shredded in just a few washes, and elastic that dug in and made me feel bad about my body. Around that same time I discovered organic fabrics and low-impact dyes, and it changed everything. Sustainability, comfort, and care for both body and Earth became the foundation of everything I made.
By 2019, a luscious bamboo fabric led me to design my first pair of underwear. What started as an experiment quickly grew into my true passion: creating sustainable intimates and loungewear that feel as good as they look.
Today, Thread Garden is a collection of thoughtfully crafted staples rooted in comfort and designed to love your body back. My mission is to create lasting staples that bridge the gap between comfort, conscience, and joy.
sustainable by nature
From fabric to final stitch, sustainability is at the heart of everything I create. I carefully source either GOTS certified or OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified fabrics, and favor high quality, earth-minded materials like Organic Cotton, MicroModal, TENCEL, Bamboo, and Hemp—soft on your skin, built to last, and gentle on the planet.
Every hand-dyed piece uses low-impact, fiber-reactive dyes that conserve water and require no heat. Each batch is washed in small, mindful rinsing baths with eco-friendly detergent.
I repurpose usable scraps, wear biodegradable gloves, and collaborate with other artists to keep waste close to zero. My studio produces, on average, just one trash bag of waste every few months.
In a world overflowing with excess I choose care, consciousness, and beauty that lasts, because your comfort, and the Earth, deserve nothing less.
