We have been sewing away and being as Green as possible over the past few months.
Our most exiting news is that there is now a Goodwill store here in our town of Marina, California, and we can get there by walking in just 10 minutes!!!
We ♥ Goodwill!
Our first shop on Etsy, Sew4fun114 went through a transformation in October to Sew4Thought and in November, we added a second shop focused on Teens, Tweens and Children called Sew4Munchkins.
Over the Holiday Season, our best seller by far was our Eco Arm Warmers made from up-cycled socks. Audrey had a group of her friends model for us including a couple of awesome boys!
We got the sock scraps and leftovers from our stash and from another etsy seller, Littlebunnytutus. She sent us some really fun colors and patterns.
Thank you to Lauren, Jessie, Samantha and everyone else at Marina High School for posing for the pictures. You are all AWESOME!
We really enjoyed coming up with fun and crazy color combinations with the different socks. We sold over 100 pairs on Etsy. It was wonderful and helped us get some nice christmas gifts for the family.
Next we had a great visit from my baby brother Ryan and his children, Ariana and Parker. Ariana loved the arm warmers too and took three pairs home to Utah. She helped Audrey model a few new styles for our shop before leaving for Disneyland.
Now I am working on making some arm warmers or fingerless gloves from some old sweaters that we bought at the new Goodwill. The first problem I have had is that they are really thick to serge so when I get this resolved, I will put up some photos and a DIY guide of sorts.
Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday season.
