This Saturday I'll be selling Reversible Skirt t-shirts at the Stain Wine bar (766 Grand St. in Wburg, between Graham and Humboldt) from 5-9 or so, and my partner from 8-11ish. They'll be $15 or $18 for embellished ones (we are starting to add tiny beads and embroidery). I can even do something custom ("FUCK YEAH"..."I AM THE BEST"..."GRANDMA ROCKS"...whatever).

Come by and say hi. It's part of a holiday art/craft fair thing. Not sure what else will be there, but it should be somewhat affordable.

p.s. where does one get an embroidery hoop in Manhattan? NYC really needs a Hobby Lobby. Seriously, if they opened one by my house, I would probably keep them in business. Not to mention all the knitsters.

i buy mine online- hoops that is- its too difficult to track em down here.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

I bet they are like $0.01 apiece on ebay.

If I don't end up going to Boston, I'm dropping by. Can you do a 'WTF' or 'o_O'? That would rule and I'd so get one.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Easy. Come pick out the shirt and I can do it right there if it's not busy (and if I can get a hoop in time.)

um, i am goign to be in missouri and hobby lobby-ing it up this weekend. i could pick one up for you if you want! taking orders for fuzzy letters, too!

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Oh shit I love fuzzy letters. I kind of need it by Saturday though.

[doctorpopsicle.livejournal.com]

ah well.

i feel your hobby lobby pain, though. i had a hard enough time just trying to figure out where to buy thread in greenpoint.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Yeah -- like, the dollar store? the drugstore? I know.

[doctorpopsicle.livejournal.com]

there is a michael's, i think, on staten island. you can probably apply the ikea principle - go once a year in a car and load up.

i worked at a hobby lobby in high school! i miss wasting my earnings on like, lavendar embroidery thread.

i bought an embroidery hoop at pearl - not the paint store but the craft building across the street and down the block.

AHA

i agree with the hobby store thing. every time i go to PA i stock up or have to buy online.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Every time I get to go into a Hobby Lobby, I'm overwhelmed. It's like Supermarket Sweep or something.

[flux-capacitor.livejournal.com]

I just discovered the greatness of Hobby Lobby via a trip to Toledo. Don't know if Detroit even has one.

there is also something called like p&s fabrics on broadway below canal... they have a lot of stuff like that and serious yarn too. (a few blocks away from pearl craft on lipsand st.)

there isn't any in the fabric district?

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I see a lot of button stores and wholesale clothing stores and fabric stores but not many sewing/embroidering/knitting supply places. If they are here, they are all tiny and hidden.

[brella.livejournal.com]

P&S has EVERYTHING! I highly recommend them for anything you need for fabric, notions, knitting & embroidery stuff. They are a couple blocks south of Canal on Broadway with a teal awning. GO!

[betchka.livejournal.com]

P&S def. has hoops in a huge variety of sizes and tons of embroidery threads/yarns/fabric. Hands-down favorite inexpensive crafting store in the city - I even have them on speed dial in my cell phone.

[betchka.livejournal.com]

I wonder how hard it would be to make one with a friend's picture (errr...clothed, of course).

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

whoa! My friend made porno line art tote bags with partly naked cowboys and cowgirls one time, which was GENIUS.
