NEW STUFF - more felt

Simple placemats in dark gray mix, made of felt from an eco friendly recycled polyester/wool blend.

Felt Placemats, set of 2, InboundThread, $15

PACKAGING - in store

Displaying Coffee Cozies in store has a slight disadvantage in presentation without a the coffee cup. Although there are possible solutions such as buying paper cups, and printing detailed tags or packaging, opting for a display method with simple materials is preferable.

By cutting a coffee cup silhouette from the cardboard backing of old notebooks, the coffee cozy well illustrated, while also being a fairly good reuse of materials.

NEW STUFF - custom orders

There are some new variations of products inspired by the custom requests.

From my first German customer, a variation of the Form Follows Coffee Cozy in gray with white print. I like the clean, minimalist new look.


A customer interested in the ABCD coasters hoped for a set of eight rather than four. We decided to do coasters with numbers 1-8.

These had such a great industrial feel, and now coasters numbered 1-4 are part of the product line.


One customer requested Mine Yours coasters as a set of 4, with one Mine and three Yours coasters. After another customer followed their request, they've been added to the line as well.


Those are some recent additions, but more to come for the Holiday season!

ETSY - packaging

Simple yarn, InboundThread logo tag, a little tissue paper, plastic bag to keep water safe, and a thank you note. :)

SHOP OPEN

This week I opened my Etsy shop! Starting with some industrial felt items and plan to add a variety of materials and products later. I started with a series of coasters and chair pads.

Today I'm working on a new design for an industrial felt chair cover. I'm pretty obsessed with making folding chairs comfortable and cool looking, as we have several of them stored in the basement for whenever an extra person or 6 stop by. When you don't have a dinning room, and your storing things in a damp basement, cheap folding chairs are the way to go. That doesn't mean they can't get be comfortable and get dressed up a bit for company! Also, good for the patio.
