Also… remember when I posted a couple of sneek peak pictures of stuff I was working on? Well, I will have these new items at the events this weekend, and then I’ll also be posting them to etsy in the weeks to come. Here are a few photos of some of the new stuff…

SCARVES — jersey fabric with raw edges

FINGERLESS GLOVES — handsewn with jersey fabric

REVERSIBLE BELTs — handsewn, similar to a traditional Japanese obi, and can be worn in a variety of ways, with ties done up in the front or the back. One side of the belt has a silkscreen on it, and the other side has more subtle sewn details. I’ve also made black and brown versions of these, with aqua ink.

And I also printed re[TURN] — pictured below — and re[CONNECT] on forest-green tee-dresses:

Have a terrific weekend!
