I began sewing as a six-year old when I made clothes for my stuffed animals. Then I made dolls that turned into clothes: www.bookerydooda.com/babydoll. Lately I make clothes with a modular spin on them.

    Catalog Finished!

    Hello!

    I know it's been a while, but I just wanted to check in with you all to let you know that I finished my line sheets (catalog). With your help, I got some creative software, lots of paper, ink cartridges and fabric. In the future, I can pay my next set of models and photographer, as well as continue to make a few more handmade catalogs for potential buyers.

    Here are some photos of the completed catalog. I'll be making a few more this week, then onto making some winter pieces for my Etsy shop. After the shop is full of new items, I'll send out my coupon codes for you all to enjoy this holiday season.

    Thank you again for your amazing support. It has made all the difference in my business and I hope to keep you all posted as I continue with Viong!

    Rewards Rewarded!

    Hey everyone,

    I just wanted to let you all know that as of last week, all rewards were shipped! I am now in the process of putting together my sketches, swatches, etc to create my catalog, all thanks to you.

    Here are some of the things that your donations have helped me acquire: external drive, fall/winter 2010 materials, compensation for models/photographers, machine tune-up, and catalog materials/expenses.

    Thanks again for all the love. I'll keep you posted about the summer wrap-up pieces I'm going to release soon, and my new fall/winter pieces!!

    Way to go Liz!! You're almost halfway there with only a few days in. Oh, and I saw your video at the Portland Kickstarter Meetup the other night. Everyone's rooting for you.

    Life is not always black and white and the choices we make are not always simple. Joanne and Allan are one couple, and they'll make their choice.

    Wow, great work on the fundraising, Effalo! As a fellow designer, I understand the difficulty of pricing your work, as it must consider the time spent in sketching, visualizing, model-making, etc. There are clearly countless hours of research and design going into your work for which you deserve recognition. Keep it up!

    REWARDS REWARDS

    Hi again, Everyone!

    I know it's been a while since you heard from me. I've been getting rewards ready for shipment and thought it might be good to let you know where I'm at.

    I finished the iPod/phone cases and about half of the wallets, and the postcards are ready for pick-up. I'll swing by the post office either this afternoon, and will continue my weekly shipments every Tuesday until all the items are out.

    Thanks again for all the support. Do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

    Victoria

    Hi there,

    Thank you again to everyone who contributed to this project. I've been scrambling around, picking up last minute notions for all the rewards out there, and I'll be reaching out to you soon for addresses, shirt sizes/colors, etc.

    I'll be sending out items in the following order: iPod/phone cases, wallets, sketches, postcards, sweatshirts, then the $100 packages.

    Thanks again,
    Victoria
