…from Leila about a coat i made from neckties that she bought from me:

“Not a day goes by when I wear that coat that someone doesn’t say the loveliest thing to me.
it’s become something of a good luck charm. Currently it’s on a boat heading to the land down under and I hope it makes it past customs. Fingers crossed!”

i made this petite set of cuffs for my friend’s birthday gift. i used one skinny end of a necktie scrap and some material that i got from SCRAP for the ruffles. the snaps are really cute and sparkly…kind of like my friend =) in this picture, they remind me of a pair of jellyfish.

special packaging

my favorite thing about online orders is packaging them like gifts. i know when i receive an order and it is packaged in some special way, i appreciate it so much more! for my latest order, i sewed together pages from an old, gently used coloring book from the 50′s (that i bought from SCRAP). i placed the order inside the pages and then sewed it shut like a neat little package! isn’t it adorable? and it’s a great way to recycle books that would have went straight to the landfill.
