Adventures with Snaps and An Update
over 10 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2015 at 10:21:08 PM

Hey everyone! 

First off, digital downloads were sent last week! For those of you who chose those rewards, thank you! And I hope you're enjoying your batches of Michelle's fried chicken and/or getting a jump start on that project you've always wanted to create thanks to a powerful boost from Elatia's coaching video!

Second, today I sent Chelsea's beautiful art to the screen printer, who is making the screen for the bandanas as I type this.

A peek at Chelsea's sketch and mock up process.

Third, I'm off to the factory tomorrow to take a look at our pre-production samples before they start cutting our fabric. Remember, measure twice, cut once! 

Finally, an adventure with snaps! Have you ever seen a snap press in action? Take a look at this

One of the awesome things about launching The Willary is I get to really dive into the nuts and bolts (or in this case, snaps and rivets) of even the tiniest details. Here are a few more photos from my snap adventure at Mr. Li's.

And hey, if you haven't already, check out our most recent #FavoriteMaker interview with Chelsea Warren, a puppeteer, artist and designer who Makes the Ordinary Extraordinary.

That's all for now, thanks!

Our fabric arrived!

Hey Everyone!

Before I started The Willary I never really understood how many hands a large, international shipment goes through. Turns out it's A LOT. We ended up using a freight service a colleague uses, so I knew we'd be okay but still, I was SO happy when I found out our fabric made it to the factory safe and sound! Here's what comes next:

I'll check back in soon. Until then, have a great day!

Surveys going out today!
over 10 years ago – Mon, Nov 02, 2015 at 11:39:55 AM

Hey awesome backers! 

I'm about to hit "send" on the surveys! Please complete them by Monday November 9 so we can start production on time. And! If you want to add to your order at the special Kickstarter discount (+ free US shipping) you'll be able to do that on the survey as well.

Also on the survey is a link to our size chart. Get a buddy and measure away! If in doubt, order a size smaller since our fabric is so forgiving. And if you missed it, here's a video on the difference between the C & D fit pants. Any more questions? Hit me up!

With Gratitude,

Debbie
