The first Community Sewing Workshop, Home Ec at is coming up on February 8th.

Learn to Sew basics like threading needles, tying knots, six different hand sewing stitches and when to use them (and when to break the rules 🤪), and sewing on a button. You'll practice all of them as you finish your own fabric sewing pouch, made of found and upcycled fabrics. Each kit has a measuring tape, pin cushion, seam ripper, needles, thread, and pins all inside 🥹.

Plus, it's Bird Girl so there will be delicious pizza, NA or Full A beverages for purchase, and a great little community of people looking to connect.

Pick up a ticket on my site so I can prepare the kits for you all!

I shared this in stories, but if you are in the 757 area and wanting to take this class but it's out of your budget at this time and you are needing community and skill building time, please reach out. I am sponsoring someone to take this course, and I will buy you a pizza to take home as well. Everyone is welcome, always.

Dropped these new Slim Bifolds during the Holiday season on a whim, and they were a big hit. To be fair, this design was inspired by a man who popped into my tent at a market looking for something like this. He already had one and it was small and compact and I really loved the wear on it.

So, I made my own take on a super slim cardholder.

I get asked at every show if I have "x" kind of wallet, and the variety of wallets is just so vast that it's rare to have any specific style requested. But these and some soon to be dropped wallets with money clips will enter into the Directive lineup of leather wallets for 2026.

My goal is also to majorly stock up on inventory in this first quarter of the year- so I may have 50+ options available (of each style) pretty dang soon (relatively soon) vs always playing catch up during the Holiday rush.

I am hoping to work ahead this year (though I am currently behind). Fingers and toes crossed.
