Carmen Made This...

A few Carmen Made This projects coming your way. My friend over at Home Economics asked me to sew some of these awesome, contemporary, industrial, Anthropologie-ish pillows for him to sell at his store and Interior Design Markets. I was a little apprehensive and nervous because the British Route Sign material is very expensive. But, what's a girl to do...I made 11 for him and he hooked me up with a check and my own sign fabric to play with (I'm thinking more pillows and maybe a tote) Take a look, what do you think??

My super cute girls barrettes are also making their debut at my neighbor's booth at the Growers Market(and other festival events) She plans on selling them on her website as well. Take a look, what do you think? (thanks Jake for the photos)
