Today has been a VERY good day. Dark & Stormy turned to sunshine, blue skies, and springtime weather. Custom orders were finalized, new products priced, straggling alterations finally finished, with the next phase ready to begin. Hooray for Spring! The day began with a surprising message waiting for the Mamas at the shop. Project Runway had called. Yes, the show, Project Runway had somehow learned about our little Old North End - Burlington - Vermont shop. Not only did someone(s) know about our Mamas-on-a-Mission, sustainable neighborhood textile studio... but they had actually gone so far as to call us right up and leave a message on our voice mail. Can we say Wonder-ment?!!? Awe?!!? Disbelief? What a treat!
It turns out that Project Runway is very eager to attract contestants from Vermont to apply for Season 8. They had learned about The Bobbin Sew Bar + Craft Lounge from our facebook fan page. (Oh yes they did... says Gyllian -sticking-out-her-tongue- at all those social media nay sayers) They thought we would be great at getting the word out about their casting call for the next season. So here goes, in our loudest Mama voices:
ATTENTION VERMONTER DESIGNERS: PROJECT RUNWAY WANTS YOU!!!
Let's see the great talents of local Vermont fashion designers on the runway!
Let's take our unique fashion sense displayed on Church Street, Farmer's Market's & Town Hall Meetings and take it to the big apple!
When the kiddos are a little older and the bobbin is a little older...The Mamas are totally applying for Project Runway. Season 10, here we come!
