Very cool Dawn! You gonna sew those all yourself or send them off to Indonesia to have them sewn???

S
Sophista-tiki posted on 02/11/2011

Indonesia sew ers would be afordable. I can only afford Sew- ers, sew people, who do sewing, on sewing machines. ( if you want to call yourself a seamstress go right ahead.) BUT I have a team of sew ers lined up here in Seattle. and a couple of TC sew ers for the special garments.

Thanks for looking.
wait until you see the clothes!!!
getting lots of attention for the fabric designs outside of the tiki relm. I fully expect licensing this year.

I should be getting back to painting in about a week. , have a few shows lined up and need to make inventory for vending at Tiki Oasis.
I just dug out all of my (never been seen by you people) silk screens and will have asmall offereing of T-shirts soon,
My book, Tapa designs of the pacific is currently in que and will also be availible soon.

and of course stickers, I've always wanted to do stickers.
(I bought a sticker from Doug last year at TO for my truck and its my favorite, and inspires me to make my own stickers every day I see it)

24 more fabrics will be availible in about a week.
and remember if you cant sew but you want a custom shirt or dress you can always contact Karrol ( Kiki von Tiki) or Andy (Fashion Tramp) to make something special just for you.
just buy your fabric and send it to them .

I totally agree! Dawn, you really have found your medium with those fabrics! I want them all - on SOMETHING! Suddenly I wish I wuz a girl and knew how to sew! (not that that's only a girl thing, but the chances would be better) :)
