Kangadu Grand Opening Today @ 3pm EST

The day has finally arrived. I am ready to open up shop. Wool soakers and longies will be available @ 3pm EST. So, if you love wool, come on by and see what I have stocked @ Kangadu Children

Coming Soon....

I have been working on getting my online store ready for the world to see. I will soon be stocking my store with wool soakers and longies made from recycled sweaters.



So far preparations for this endeavour have been extremely exciting. I have spent the last two Wednesdays, with my Mom, running around town in search of wool sweaters. I'm not a pro yet but, I have gotten pretty good at spotting wool from a few feet away. I have 40 wool sweaters to prove it!!

On Friday I got all the materials for making my tags. When I got home I went strait to work cutting, stamping, and ironing. They are not perfect but, I made 100 tags. In case you are interested, this is what they look like.



Tonight Greg helped me get together a tracking system. When I get ready to cut up a sweater, I cut out the tag, put it in a binder, and give it an id number. He created a spreadsheet that keeps track of the items I make with each sweater. It's a really neat system and I am glad that he is helping me keep this stuff orgainized.

Well, if I'm gonna get this shop up anytime soon, I better get back to sewing....

Early Day Tomorrow

Well, let's hope I sleep better tonight than I have been. I have to be up at 4am. So, hopefully I can get to sleep before 4 am!!

Oh yeah, I have been working on an XL pair of wool longies for a tester. They seem to be taking forever to finish. Hopefully they will be done in the next couple of days. :)

Prototype In Progress

So here is what I am working on today. :)



Yesterday I was stuck trying to figure out if I wanted to make this yarn into longies or a skirty. I had figured that longies would be best since the yarn was gender neutral but, I really wanted to make a skirty that wasn't all pink and frilly.

Thanks to some ideas thrown out by a few ladies on the cloth diaper board over at BabyCenter a decision has been made and a new type of wool cover will soon be born!

I am so excited to show off this new creations! Please check back, I should have pictures in the next few days.

We'll See What Happens....

My hubby just mailed off my first tester pair of longies. Yippee! I can't wait to hear back from the momma who ordered them, and certainly can't wait to see pictures of them on her little one! :)
