1 what is youre favorite type of fabric?
Do you mean the type of fabric I love to sew? Vintage cotton repurposed from sheets - the older ones are super-soft. But MY favorite fabric? I can't discriminate that way!
2 whats the funniest comment you have gotten from a customer at a craft show?
I don't recall any specific comments. I do get some interesting reactions to my (apparently) funky color/print combos. People question whether a certain item might be suitable for grandma, or if the astronaut apron would be appreciated by a boy-friend, despite (or because of) the pom-pom fringe at the hem.
I have had some fun conversations at craft shows. I'm not around grown-up people most of my days, so anything is fair game. At Renegade's Holiday show I had a long conversation with a shopper/vendor about our shared lactose intolerance!
3 Is there any one in the crafty world you would like to meet?
That is a tough question! I have made so many friends online and have yet to meet some of the ones I feel closest to! I have met quite a few very impressive, influential, INSPIRING people from the crafty world. I live in Austin, Texas - home of the original Craft Mafia after all!
4 when did you open shop?
December 2001
5 what do you think of indie shop interviews ?
I have to say I appreciate the sincerity of the questions.
