Brooklyn Lyceum Craft Fair…
2010 @ 9:07 am
Cathy and I shared a booth last weekend at the Brooklyn Lyceum Foor & Craft Market. It was a good time! Thank you to everyone who came down to visit us and support the awesome vendors the Market featured. Schrodinger Originals did pretty well! Please check out Cathy’s newest geometric bags, and new lower prices 
Flip Maja’s success? Not so much–I am very grateful to the friends that came by and purchased a mat bag. I’m not sure if it was the product, the price, the atmosphere or the economy, but I just didn’t sell that many. I’m not ready to give up yet though! I met a couple of people that were interested in my yoga mat bags for sale in their own studio, or at another market. Let’s see what happens, right?
Finished: 2T Tunic for my 2 Year Old
2010 @ 10:21 am
Hold onto your hats…. it’s not a yoga mat bag. I made this for Cassie last night–I have been thinking about it since the weather turned warm. After making more than 50 bags, I am ready to get back into sewing for little girls. Just in time for summer.
At this point, I’ve made so many modifications that I can really only say that this is based on Simplicity’s 5118 pattern. I combined views A and C, lengthened it, dropped some extras, and sewed it at .5″ instead of 5/8″ so it will fit Cassie for longer. This is size 2T, modified as described. It’s now a tush covering tunic that will probably be worn as a shirt next Spring.
I hope to get more clothes for the girls finished in the next couple of weeks!
Craft Fair Readiness…
2010 @ 11:49 am
I hesitate to say this, but I think I am actually going to be ready for my first craft fair! Please come visit me if you are in the Brooklyn area. I have over 50 gorgeous yoga mat bags for sale. I even have a snazzy postcard thanks to gleek!
The card has gone a long way to make this feel real and professional. I am excited to see where this all leads…
Hope to see you there!

Last weekend I went on a photo walk to Grand Army Plaza near our place in Brooklyn and down to 4th ave in Park Slope for a dinner of Ramen with a friend,my husband and daughter number two… hope you enjoy the results! I’ve missed my camera in this busy time.
MInty Fresh Mittens
2010 @ 8:42 am
Let’s pretend that this is me saying good bye to Winter. These are some super warm mittens created for me by Mintrfresh over at Pepperknit! Malabrigo Twist, YUM. This mitten was gifted to me during the annual Spiders Trek to Bay Ridge. Although it does seem that it’s slowly becoming less of a trek for many of us. Stay tuned to Minty’s Ravelry and blog for the pattern… it’s a keeper!
Minty also loaned me her 30mm lens to take the photo–sweet lens, indeed.
Follow me on Twitter…
2010 @ 9:20 am
I’ve got a twitter account! No, it’s not Sassy Stitchess, it’s FlipMaja. Follow me for updates on craft stuff, it’s not all about yoga mat bags. Or just peep the sidebar–I’ve added my stream there.
I wish I had some knitting to show, but it’s all secret right now. And, really, I’ve mostly just been making yoga mat bags! Tonight I’ll sew my first batch with a secret pocket. Hopefully my clever idea will work!
To shop the mat bags, please click here or on the SHOP tab at the top of the page…
