Hey, thanks for all of the skirt love. A few of you have asked if the Heat-n-Bond is strong enough to secure the felt appliques. Sometimes I go back and re-fuse them if they detach. The flowers on my skirt are all sewn down in the center with a button, so even is they peel away a bit, they are not going anywhere. They can also be tacked or embroidered down. I have another skirt refashion coming up, as soon as I can get to it. Busy times, you know!
Speaking of……I’ve updated the etsy shop today. I totally CRANKED this weekend to fill the shop for Cyber Monday and December 1st already! Note: December 15th is my cut-off date for shipping in the US in time for Christmas. And as a little bonus to you, I am throwing in a FREE adorable gift box with each purchase of a cupcake pincushion between now and 12/15.
Oh! I almost forgot…coming up on the 4th in NYC! For the second year I am participating in gallery hanahou’s plush show, Luv-able and Hug-able. Details below:
611 Broadway, Suite 730 NYC
Due to popular demand, this holiday season the plushes return to gallery hanahou!
Made with love by 30+ artists and crafters from all over the world, these original and affordable soft toys will range from cooky critters to adorable anthropomorphic objects. Nab an armful of plushes at the December 4th opening party, or order from our online shop at galleryhanahou.com for your hug-able holiday gifts!
