Calling all Crows!

A digital call to ride!! Halloween night we'll flock and swoop through the trickortreating and revelry. CAW!!! CAW!! I was hoping for some printed or line-drawn chits, but I managed with photoshop...

the bobbin

This weekend is the grand opening on Burlington's first sew bar and craft lounge, the (newly remixed) Bobbin! and it's right here in the Old North End! The Bobbin has an exciting calendar of community craft events, including "knit and nurse", "anarchist craft circle" and "queer crafting", as well as classes and a pay-by-hour fleet of sewing machines. They even have a serger! They'll be open from 10 to 6, Saturday the 6th and Sunday the 7th, with lots of events and a DIY fashion parade. So, if you're in the 'hood this weekend (coming by Viva Espresso to order caps or something) stop by and check them out. The shop's on the corner of Archibald and N. Winooski. Their website: www.thebobbin.com.

come and get 'em

This Sunday, October 7, I'll be taking cap orders between 9am and noon at Viva Espresso on North Winooski Ave, Burlington. Come see samples. Choose from fabric swatches for body and applique fabrics. I can even take your measurements on the spot. If you can't make it, drop me an email. See you there!

getting my cap on

This past Rosh Hashanah I decided to make an effort to use recycled fabrics and materials in my creative work; thinking about how much waste we create on this life, especially as first-world consumers, feels heavy. It's a pithy new year sentiment but it really feels right to limit my consumption of new goods. All those yards of denim, sewn up into american jeans- what happens when the knees blow? Landfill? Why not something lovely and useful instead? So here come some denim caps...




These thumbnails are of the last cap completed for a custom order. I'm currently taking orders for denim and corduroy caps, with or without barn swallow applique. If you are interested, please email me at flyinghenstudio@gmail.com. I'm turning orders in less than a week- that's almost immediate gratification, folks!


Here are some typed size tags. I love my typewriter; what a trusty rusty friend it is! Below are a few barn swallows in various swoops.
