Hayward Days of the Dead

Hi Everyone,
I have been sewing and sewing and .... wait for it..... sewing.   I ordered two more BOLTS of fabric.  That's right bolts of fabric.   Each bolt equals 18 yards of fabric or 144 caps.  This will be the third bolt of Black fabric I have ordered.
I also ordered several new colors of thread--nifty variegated thread for the name tags and construction.  
My next show is in Hayward on the sixteenth of October.  Here is a link to the event 16 Days of the dead 2010   Please stop on by and say Howdy.
Cheers,
Mary

philly bike expo -- getting ready

Hi All,

Joie in earflap cap 2009

I am getting caps ready for the Philly Bike Expo in October.  Every time I get nervous about it I sew some more caps.  I need to get my winter caps up and running too.  I want to have two types of warm earflap caps.  One the traditional style like I made for Joie last year (see photo), and one with a twist (to be seen soon).

Daruma-San Silk Screen Print by me

Fabric has also been bought for a messenger type bag.  Like the one I made for myself (if you have seen it:)  Only the new bag will be made in this nifty black, gray, and white cotton that I am going to silk screen Daruma-San on top of.  The big question is flap or no flap?  I have this beautiful plaid wool that is for bags too.  That one will definitely get a flap to keep water out!  (A problem I had last winter with my current flap-free cotton bag.

I can't decide if I should bring my earrings to the Philly Expo.   Or to the Hayward, Days of the Dead show on the 16th of October.  Humm

See you around town,
Mary
