Black & White

When I graduated from Design School I landed the most fun job through my part-time job at a fabric store.  The position was in a textile design studio.  I met my best friend in the whole-wide-world there – it was a studio full of fun, young people who loved their jobs and had so much fun at work… It was a lot of fun, and I really miss the people to this day.  

Recently my manager from that position contact me because she is starting a new business – one she had talked about for years – called Dye It Black.  She specializes in re-dying your faded blacks back to their full glory.  I love this idea because it prevents “old” clothes from winding up in the waste bin… and I wear a whole lotta black.

So, she and I are teaming up a bit, and will be collaborating on a few black pieces.  I sewed these power net  mesh panties yesterday.  They are great because the netting is stretchy and soft, yet firm enough to hold you in a little bit.  Because it is such a stable net, I was able to avoid using elastic around the legs, which helps prevent panty lines.

I also started a striped set, and listed these on Etsy last night.  Tops to follow… as well as some garter belts and whatnot…
