Face mask tutorial & if you can see this your standing too close fabric



Happy Easter to all of you celebrating this weekend! Last week we dropped some prints for all you sewing Face Masks. Stay home, stay safe and some other inspirational text designs we're added for this crazy time. We've had some peeps asking us to drop some links to our penis & stay home fabrics. So in this post I wanted to share our Support collection in which you can find all fabrics that are suitable for Face Masks. We made some penis prints a loooooong time ago which have been very popular to use on masks.

We never expected our Dick prints to become best-sellers, but this week those penisses have been flying off the shelves. -If you can see I'm wearing dicks on my face you're too close- kind thing. We never thought these prints would be so useful around this Corona virus quarantine period. But it's so funny seeing those masks pop up on our feed. We also have numerous inspirational text designs that are a little more classy on your face. You can find our Support collection by clicking here.

For all of you that need some help finding the right Face Mask sewing pattern you can find a little instruction video from Tim, one of the dude sewing peeps over at Spoonflower, who created a short tutorial.
Spoonflower also set up a Mask response project, where you can sign up as a sewer and spread Face Masks for all in need of some cute printed over-masks. You can find some more info about the project on the Spoonflower website.

All right peeps, stay safe & stay home! We got this!
Enjoy your Easter weekend.

Love,
Maaike

A creative business in times of Corona // Support our working troopers with inspirational and motivational face mask fabrics



Times have become a little mad the past few weeks. We sure hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound. We are finishing the second week of working in quarantine and it’s been such a strange two weeks. We’re working with clients all over the world and we’re all in it together. We are all effected by this crazy virus taking over the world and consuming our daily lives.

Two weeks ago I traveled to Spain, which wasn’t the best break to recharge. But I am happy to be back home, working in mandatory quarantine. So we’re getting used to a new routine, working from home. But it’s been a challenge keeping up with the work. As you can imagine, for all businesses we work with, these are very shaky times and most of our clients are worried and want things done asap. But we’re grateful we’re still working. So many of you lost their incomes, jobs, health. So we’re happy to work, be healthy and being stuck at home: this all will eventually pass.

I founded the studio in times of recession. And I am so happy to realize now our income is not coming from one niche. We are still working on some custom designs, we’re sending our exclusive mailing next week for licensees and we keep selling designs on products on which we earn royalties with every sale.

We’re busy with projects trying to help our customers support people in need. And we were also asked to create some motivational prints to show support to those working in Corona cray cray. A bunch of our Spoonflower customers already started on creating face masks for their hospital troopers. And while we’re stuck at home anyway, this seems a great time to dust of that sewing machine. Time to browse some new fabrics right? If you'd love to support us please take a look at our newest prints. Of course, we’d love to do so much more! So if you have any great idea’s please pass them along. We’d love to help in any way we can!

For now we’ll share the new inspirational Corona quotes with you, designs that are available on fabric. You can find all designs in our 'Support & Inspiration in times of Corona' collection. You are welcome to save this gif file and repost on any social media you’d like. Stay home, stay safe & thank you for those running crazy shifts, for those who have jobs that matter.
