It's been a while since my last update and that is due in large part to the skirt dyeing process, which is taking longer than anticipated and more effort as well. In order to speed up the process, I took on the job of dyeing the indigo skirts which amounted to over 50 skirts at my home studio.

The first shipments of Bicycle Wrap Skirts went out last week (This is an edited version of my Kickstarter Update from last week).
Yes, yes, and yes!!! You guys have been so patient -- I can't thank you enough!
The first batch of tall skirts shipped out this week; that is the tall sizes in natural (un-dyed). If you ordered leather hip pouches, Skirt Secures, or backpacks, we are putting the finishing touches on your packages and they will be going out this week.
News from Opportunity Threads is that they will be shipping out the remaining skirt sizes to us on Monday or Tuesday.

After a week in Asheville, Morganton, and Charleston, I'm back in Savannah enjoying this amazing early fall weather.

I can finally spend some quality time outside again, and I couldn't be happier because -- it's Bicycle Wrap Skirt season!
The latest update on our skirts is: they are currently in production.

We made a visit to our production facility in NC last week where we met with the great folks who will be sewing our skirts. It is important for us to keep production close to home so that we can visit regularly and develop a strong relationship with the people who will be making our products. Our foremost goal was to create a great product, but it's of the utmost importance to make sure our products are made as sustainably and ethically as possible.
Read MoreInspired by the environment and three-and-a-half years living on a small sailboat, designer Lara Neece spent the last of her savings to purchase equipment, set up a screen-printing studio, and create her company Forest and Fin. An award-winning artist and self-taught graphic designer, she designed and printed her first nature-inspired screen-printed apparel by hand using water-based inks and a manual press. Forest and Fin balances beauty, functionality, and responsible design to inspire people to spend more time outside. Items are made as earth-friendly as possible with portions of revenue giving back to environmental conservation efforts.
