Dritz® at New York Comic Con

Cosplay off the hook.

So, this was a lot of fun. Hard work; crazy; but fun! For those of you who follow us on Instagram and Facebook, you know that in October, Dritz® attended the New York Comic Con (NYCC) show. We had a great response to the images we’ve already shared – seems that y’all were a bit surprised to see us at NYCC, and that you loved our look! We went with a steampunk theme for our booth, and made a whole bunch of garments and accessories using our Dritz® construction and hardware items. See what we made and how.

Celebrating Handmade at the Indie Craft Parade

It’s one of our favorite maker events!

Typically our team attends the Indie Craft Parade as guests – it’s in own backyard after all, in beautiful downtown Greenville, South Carolina. It’s a weekend event packed with makers selling their creative wares, and plenty of inspiration. It’s always fantastic to see how makers use Dritz® products to craft handmade items such as garments and bags loaded with hardware, or costumes and headbands that use our elastic. This year we took it up a notch, and had our very own Dritz® booth at the VIP gala, which is the event’s kick-off party. What fun!

Road Trip: Missouri Star Quilt Company

A quilter’s paradise in Hamilton, Missouri.

If you’re a quilter with a bucket list, make sure that this is on it: a visit to the Missouri Star Quilt Company.

It wasn’t just a store. Hamilton is an entire town pretty much dedicated to all things quilting. Paradise, right? Take a look.
