Duct Tape and Baling Wire

  A silly fun fact I thought I would share. What is in a name? We changed our name from one that did not indicate what we did. Through long hard discussions we decided on ~ Emporium ~ It has a nice ring to it and denotes many items. Mira makes many things including her duct tape line. She does wooden wall decor, canvas wall decor, lanyards, beaded everything, crochet and so much more. I myself sew about anything, crochet about anything, do bead work and I bend baling wire. Yes! Baling wire or electric fencing. I bend it into rings, bracelets, and more. My favorite bent wire item though is my tree. So when we were trying to come up with a name Duct Tape and Baling Wire was at the forefront (for a minute or two anyway). We were afraid people would be disappointed when they realized we did not really carry nuts and bolts etc. ~Ginger

This is the outfit I made before HUBFEST. It was an adult x-small and Fred the mannequin is just an 8 so I had to pin it in the back. It turned out quite cute though.

I am constantly wracking my brain for new ideas to sew. Things that are functional yet flattering. Something someone would love to wear. My forte is ultra stretchy so that is what I will stick with. ~Ginger
