This week I made the final delivery of repurposed banner bags to Jazz House Kids. This order included Wine Bottle Totes, Trapezoid Totes, and Square Totes, pictured here being delivery on the handlebars of my blue beach cruiser.  I actually rode it the 4 blocks from my apartment to the office! JHK sells them at events like today's Montclair Jazz Festival!    

This time lapse video shows me sewing the side of a banner bag. I apply rubber cement to keep the strap in place before I stitch it on my machine!

I've been having fun making time lapse videos of me sewing. In the latest one I'm sewing part of a wholesale order I've been working on. It could be a meditation in repetition except that I'm talking to my bf the whole time. My favorite part is near the end when I kiss him goodbye!

I was happy to discover myself featured at the top of the list in Washington State's Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery's summer campaign fittingly named #10PerfectSips. My Etsy How-Tuesday Feature: How to Make Plarn was at the top of the Craft Parties list featuring the best in DIY projects matched with the perfect wine! Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery recommends their 2014 Columbia Valley Chardonnay when cutting and crocheting leftover grocery bags into cute tote bags! Sounds good to me!

In case you missed it, the Montclair Sidewalk Sale last Saturday was a blast! As I've done in the past, I set up in front of Mundo Vegan, the owners love supporting local merchants. I've know them since my Copabananas days, great folks and great food! It was a beautiful day and Church St. was the place to be! I debuted my new Tshirt Backpacks! Each one features a "patch", a design or word cut from another shirt and stitched somewhere on the backpack, as well as a Montclair Made label, love them!
