hare dooooos
last night, our friend, zach kopp, came over to practice styling our hair. he’ll be coming backstage with us during the voltage show to do our hair (because we have to make an appearance on the runway during the curtain call, and because we want to look just as fabulous as our models). he worked on our hair while we worked on our clothes. here’s bonnie hard at work, while zach is...
photo shoot!!!
on saturday, bonnie and i had our first fashion photo shoot! it was awesome. we went to cedar lake in minneapolis, and our buddy amber engfer (also here) took photos in the woods and on the beach. the lighting was perfect, but i think the girls were a little cold. thanks to our georgeous models, elisa, shalisha, and sara for shivering through the whole thing. they managed to look beautiful...
tired
bonnie’s serger is tired these days. it has been working very hard…..just look at the beast!
we're in business
today we got our business cards! they’re screen printed on fabric. i still need to starch them to stiffen them up, but i think they came out beautifully. if you come to voltage, maybe i’ll give you one, and we can “network.”
let’s network,

we're all about.....
the voltage fashion show is less than 2 weeks away, and as bonnie and i are reviewing our collection, doing model fittings, and making sure everything looks beautiful, we are constantly reminding ourselves of our original design intent. i thought i’d take this opportunity to share with you, our internet fans, what we’re all about.
bonnie and i became friends a little over a year...
zipper time
tonight bonnie is spending some time with all the zippers in our Voltage collection. this past weekend we had model fitting for all of our 10 runway looks. the zippers were only pinned in the garments. this allowed for tweeks could be made in order to get a more perfect fit. it didn’t seem very smart to sew in the zippers just to remove them later. Now……bonnie is left with the...
sea creatures
this is not a sea creature…..it is a pattern for a pretty little ruffle. this pattern reminds me of a grade school video on the wonders of mathematics. i like science and geometry.

strange happenings
so i was sewing…….that’s nothing new. i hit a pin with the needle on my sewing machine, and the needle didn’t break (which is what normaly happens). instead, the pin bent in half. strange. i like how it looks.
goodnight.
