One of my favorite aspects of sewing is the planning stage. I love looking at a pattern and envisioning how it would look in a varitey of fabrics. Most of the time I can find material that will work for the project I have in mind. However, there are times I would love to make something in a fabric that doesn't seem to exist... that's when I wish I could design my own material. Thankfully,...

I'll admit it, I dislike working on time consuming projects. I tend to make things that look like you spent hours slaving over a sewing machine, but were quickly whipped up in a day (or two) just by taking a few shortcuts.

So, Rob and I were walking down the street the other day and low and behold we see the veggie bus. We actually lived on this very bus on and off for about a year and a half traveling around the country talking to people about a more sustainable lifesyle. This is when Rob and I first started doing video work together. Check out the out this video that explains the inside of the bus....this is...
Print Liberation is a pretty rad printing company based out of Philadelphia. Not only are they a full service design company, but they also have some pretty cool pre-designed clothing and accessories. I really like sites like these because since they're a small company, they really take care of their clients and help them actualize the design that they have in mind. Some of the shirts that...
