Getting Sweaty

You might remember a while back we put up this pattern designed by Katie Lee and the profits have been going to the super awesome people who run the Austin Yellow Bike Project. We’ve sold quite a few of these patterns and it’s nice to think we’re helping get Texans out of their cars and onto bikes.

I really wanted to stitch it at some point and when I got this old school fluro sweatshirt, I knew this was perfect. It’s been produced especially for the first Craft Cartel market of the summer, which is a bike-themed market we’re running at the Bicycle Film Festival Street Party on Nov 23rd. So if you MUST HAVE this sweatshirt you better get along. I probably won’t put this online for sale.

I just adore the shininess of old clothing labels.

I’m also planning on producing some little kits for the market of this pattern. I’ll be donating half of the proceeds to Austin and half to a local bike recycling project. Although I haven’t decided which one yet, anyone got any tips? If you can’t wait to get a pattern or don’t need all the thread, fabric, needles etc, you can get an electronic one here.

And stay tuned for some very exciting new craft cartel news!
