March Vendor of the Month

I am happy to introduce you to Angela & Rene, otherwise known as 'Sweet Bobbins.' They have a variety of products in the shop and from day 1 I have been in LOVE. Their use of really fun and vibrant fabrics caught my eye right off the bat and the quality of their products is top notch.

A little about Sweet Bobbins (per Angela):

'Sweet Bobbins is operated by myself, Angela, my husband Michael, and my cousin Rene. Rene has infinite amounts of sewing knowledge and skills. We both learned to sew from her mother, who made wedding dresses for 30 plus years.

The pro of having Rene on board is that, besides all the help she offers, we both get to travel back and forth across the country and visit each other! We catch up on back stock and always try to create something new. She is expected at my house any day and I'm estatic!

We also contract with local moms for sewing and cutting jobs. I feel like it is a great way to help local families. The idea of a factory just seems too commercialized - we like being WHAM's - work at home moms and giving other moms the freedom to stay home with their little ones.

We love making all of our products. We each have our favorites. Rene loves diaper pail liners and nursing covers; I loe making wet bags and washcloths. We both love that sewing is measurable work. At the end of the day, you can look back and say, "WOW, we made all of this!"

June 13th will be our 3 year anniversary! A lot has changed since our humble beginnings, but we still love what we do! We are currently in 6 countries and 16 boutiques! We love letting our little company grow organically.

We have some big changes coming up. We just ordered our first line of organic fabric. And, we will be offering kitchen wet bags and GYM/yoga bags with the Waterproof lining.

Thank you all for supporting local handmade!'

Sweet Bobbins

Sweet Bobbins makes adorable items for babies and their mamas. First up are their bibs (toddler and infant). These are so sweet, and the great thing about them is that they have snaps versus velcro, and two adjustable options. I have also received customer feedback that they wash very well.
Toddler:

Infant

Pacifier Clips-fun designs for both boy and girl.

Baby Blanket Gift Sets

Bib/Burp Cloth sets-great for a gift idea!

Wetbags-different sizes available. These are so handy to have-for swimtime, dirty diapers/clothes (just throw them in the wash!)...or even to keep your hair/makeup products in when you are traveling...tons of options!

Nursing Covers:

They also make some other items for every day use that are not baby-related. First up-these really fun key fobs.

Snack Bags/Sandwich Bags: a great, stylish way to send those snacks with the kiddos to school or to stick in your purse.

SLR Camera Straps-these are so awesome. Switch out your SLR Camera Strap for a stylish one.

I am thrilled to have Sweet Bobbins as a vendor at Craft Corner. Be sure to come check out their beautiful products!
