Product Review: Spoonflower
So… I think I’ve mentioned (several times) during the run-up to the Gemini FlightBag that I had a difficult time finding fabrics that inspired me in this go-round.

So… in our last post I showed you a bag that I totally had FUN making, and every once in a while it’s nice to cut loose and make something that’s just for fun, right? But now we only have one more sample to make after this one and then it’s time to choose one…
Read MorePPC24: Let’s Go on a Picnic
So… in our last post I showed you a seriously beautiful sample that should perform quite well for us at retail shows, but here’s the deal… as much as I LOVE making show samples, every now and again I get a kick out of making a “novelty” sample! But from the moment I saw these…
