supers
**update** The first batch is sold out now. We have a few more projects cued up for the printer but will reprint these again, within a month or so.
The Super X-Stitchettes are now up in the shop. And guess what, they're a printed actual real-life thing! Our delay in getting these out was that we wanted to (finally) try out
the new fancy printer we bought last year. And although it gave us our
share of headaches, as … More
Olle Eksell
I’m trying to find pretty pictures to make me happy today. This new book (Olle Eksell: Swedish Graphic Designer) of mine seems to be doing the trick. Also a little depressing though since I can’t seem to find two spare minutes for a creative thought.

I had two big pieces of vintage chenille bedspread that I sewed together and used as the backing and then I quilted it with little ties on the gingham. Oh, I love it so. It's an awesome heavy weight and the nubby backing is so great. Very satisfying! It's supposed to be for … More
pillowcase shirt
Here's something from that stack of stuff — a shirt from a pillowcase. The pattern I used called for elastic thru a casing at neck and cuffs but I was lazy and tried to just use elastic thread in the bobbin. After sewing a gazillion rows of it it's almost sufficiently scrunched up.
Here's Phoebe modeling the scrunched up shirt (and trying to pull her piggies out as always!)
