I'll be honest, I feel a bit silly writing a page of frequently asked questions but I suppose that's how it goes.
Where do you buy your fabrics?
I buy from a few different places. I'd love to shop local for my fabrics, but unfortunately nobody close to me is importing the yummy stuff that I like. Mostly I shop at Superbuzzy, Reprodepot and JCaroline Creative.
Where do you buy your labels?
I'm a huge fan of Namemaker. The 100% woven labels take about 4-6 weeks, but the quality is fantastic and they're well worth the wait.
What kind of camera do you have?
I have a Canon Rebel XTi
. I highly recommend picking up the fiddy lens
to go with it. It's awesome in low light conditions. Oh and get a remote
too.
So, you're Canadian? I thought you were from Texas. Or wait. Boston? Where ARE you anyway?
I am Canadian. I moved from Vancouver to Texas in 2004. In October of 2007 we moved up to Boston.
When are your episodes of Uncommon Threads going to air again?
Gah! I wish I knew. They were airing on the DIY network for a while, HGTV for a while and then both channels seemed to have dropped their craft programming in favour of more house renovation-y type shows.
What are some of your favourite etsy shops?
- Bag n Trash Images
- Soto Softies
- McYarnpants
