One of the latest fashion fads in this little college town is m0nogrammed baseball caps. Girls are keeping the embroidery business hopping by asking for baseball caps with a round or square monogram on frayed edge appliques.

My Bag Is So Bright, Ya Gotta Wear Shades
As promised, this is the confidence-builder project number 2: my orange Harley bag. I have been trying to find a tackle twill hoodie to make a bag for myself.

Anywho, this is a short… Continue reading Another One in the Sweatshirt Line
Notes on a Gunny Sack
Recycled coffee bagThis is a project that has rolled around in my mind for quite a while. I'm as supportive of recycling as the next person. But I love how the young people think it is something they thought of. I grew up during the Energy Crisis of the 70's and I remember when all… Continue reading Notes on a Gunny Sack
