Quick time out for a Quick How-To

In the midst of getting ready for the Go Green with Red Panties! Truck show (I love saying that!) I am also going thru my supplies of tags and such, and have reached a decision: I will try to use recycled tags at least 90% of the time, instead of constantly purchasing little plastic boxes of blank, pre-strung ones.




The reason is mostly selfish, I admit: It's not that they're expensive, it's that I'm constantly misplacing them and having to buy another package. When I don't need them, I find 3 boxes in my studio. When I'm in a rush and looking for them, they are nowhere to be found.









Lately I've been buying attractive little tissue boxes for my desk at work; I love the patterns, they're cheerful. So, I'm using these empty boxes to create new price tags for all my work, whether it be clothing, tote bags, Ghost Kitties, or holiday gift tags.




Just cut them out, punch a hole, string a ribbon and voila! Scraps get recycled, I get practically free tags!

Shameless Self-Promotion!

Yep, it's the first ever Red Panty Designs Runway Show!!! Yippee!!

Sherri at Go Figure is sponsoring the Go Green with Red Panties Trunk Show, to be held at the greenovate(tm) studio at 15 E. Second Avenue in Columbus. November 20th, doors open at 7:00pm. Refreshments, music, fun, Admission is Free!

My biggest Fall line ever, featuring Knits, LOTS and LOTS of recycled/upcycled materials, ruffles, embellishments, little jackets, fun separates, cute dresses and tunics that look great with boots or leggings, all for the REAL sized woman!

There will be plenty to choose from, and who doesn't need one nice piece to wear to the family Thanksgiving, the office party, all those Holiday events coming up?

I'd love to see you there!

New Fall Fashions

After a day at work, which included driving up to Mansfield to pick up artwork, I came home and managed to finish some new fall fashions!

2 new tops, (the color is most accurate in the close-ups)











and a new dress. I recycled some garage sale jewelry to give it some bling!

Sewing in the Art Barn

Today I invited Sherri from Go Figure Consignment to play in the Art Barn. Sherri has wanted to learn to sew for awhile now, so she brought her toys and we played!


Here is Sherri, sewing on my Bernina........



and here is her finished project! Is it not divine? I think it's very important to be able to finish something in the first lesson that you are happy with, and Sherri looks very happy!


You may recall that Sherri sells my Red Panty clothing at her shop; well strap yourselves in, because we're doing a Fashion Show! That's right, Go Figure is sponsoring a Fashion Show blow-out on November 20th! Admission will be free, and you'll find great music and refreshments plus Fabulous new Fashions from Red Panty, Sherri, and other local designers!



Get that great outfit for all your family holiday dinners, office parties and the upcoming holiday season!
