Well darn me. I think I’ve waited too long to post about this fabric. The Jo-Ann Fabrics website says it’s no longer available. But it may still be available at some of their stores. Take a peek and let us know if you have any success.

Thanks to Gretchen W. for this great find.

On sale now is this cute kid’s t-shirt at Gymboree. Regularly $21.95 it’s now $9.99 and comes in sizes 3-12. For those crafters out there who are pug and scooter obsessed, snapping up a couple of these to make into a pillow or a totebag or even frameable art just might be the ticket. After all Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.

I did this embroidery earlier this year on tea towels and thought ScooterSwaggers would enjoy seeing how they turned out. The tracing pattern is from Sublime Stitching .

From Ikea’s bedding line, this duvet cover and pillow slips are called “Eivor Leava”. The sizes are twin, king, full/queen and the set is $49.99. According to Ikea’s site, the inspiration for this comforter came from “Sweden’s rich tradition of using textiles as a means of storytelling.” By the way, “Leva” means “to live” in Swedish.

Thanks to Aleks H. for the photo and the find!

I always cherish it when two or more of my favorite things mash-up together. A prime example of this would be when Susie Bright, scooters and cats all came together in a beautiful collision. Susie Bright, for those who don’t know, is a sex educator and columnist. And she’s my all time favorite. (Dan Savage – you’re a close number 2.) She’s currently on a book tour for her memoir entitled “Big Sex, Little Death”

Anyhoo she came to Portland, Oregon and after corresponding with her for several years via e-mail, I got to sit down with her at a brunch at Bitch Magazine and chat a bit. She asked if I would get her coat from inside and that’s when I noticed that the cuffs and collar featured cats riding scooters. I squealed quite loudly and the photo above is the result.

Thanks Susie for sending it! The fabric is hard to find now, but diligent readers will be able to get a hold of a yard or two here and there. Good luck!
