Linda and I are off to wonderful New York City for the Vogue Live NYC Knitting Show. It is held at the Marquis Marriott at Times Square. So exciting. Shipped my products and booth supplies yesterday and they should be waiting for us in Booth 317 when you set up on January 16th. I love this show because of the people. Our customers are fun, open minded, a little quirky, happy to share their opinions and we receive great support for our small company. Looking forward to seeing all of you again.
And, we are extending our trip for quite a few days. We will be visiting Prime Fabrics to "dumpster dive" wonderful fabric remnants in the basement. Pictures below. We purchase fabric which is unique, high end and gorgeous. We spend about 4 hours choosing the fabric remnants to use in 2020.


We are each at our own home now. Linda is wildly cutting fabric in Clearlake, Ca. and I am back in Portland, OR working daily on our small business. Nothing much happening until January 2020, when we will be off to NYC again, exhibiting at the wonderful Vogue Live Show and "dumpster diving" for off the wall beautiful fabric remnants at Prime Fabrics. Also we will exhibit at the Stitches West show in Santa Clara Ca, in February 2020 will be a busy year. We have added a variety of sizes of loom totes and carriers plus a portable spinning wheel tote and carrier, to our line. The bags have been very popular and we thank the patient weavers who have purchased the totes from us. We are learning much about looms and how different the looms can be. And, in July, we will be exhibiting at the Convergence Hand Spinning and Weaving Show in Knotsville TN. Still having fun making our products using up cycled, repurposed and rescued fabrics.

My sister, Linda and I are off to California tomorrow. We are going on a road trip plus showing our bags at the NC Wool and Fleece Show, in Boomville, Ca. It is a small show and we are introducing our 5 new styles of loom carriers, plus our knitting and project bags. We will not return to Portland until September 26th. My son and his wife will be processing any orders we receive. Linda and I will slowly travel up the California and Oregon coastlines, stopping at knitting shops and second hand shops on the way. We are excited.

I will be on vacation from August 1st to August 12th We have rented a house on Lake Hayden, ID and my children and grandchildren will be staying with me. I am so excited Please feel free to order while I am away but please understand I will not be able to ship the orders until August 13th.

Back from Atlanta, happy and exhausted. Great show. We made many new friends.
We are taking a break from huge Vogue and Stitches Shows until January. January we travel back to wonderful NYC. In the meantime, we will be participating in local shows and Fiber Festivals.

We need to take time to design, cut and sew new bags for our ETSY Shop. During the Autumn we love to share Trunk Shows with yarn shops, Also we need to get ready for the Holiday Season with new bags and wonderful sales.

We are in Atlanta right now! So excited to be showing our knitting bags and project totes at the amazing Stitches Atlanta Union Show. If you are attending, please come by our booth #231. We have new styles and new one of a kind knitting bags and project totes, made using up cycled, repurposed and rescued fabrics. We also are showing samples of our three sizes of loom bags and carriers. Hope to see you!


We are now back to our separate homes and workshops. We introduced two new styles at the shows, Priscilla and Lily. Both were received very well. We are back to cutting and sewing to include the new styles in our ETSY Shop, as well as restock the shop, It became pretty sparse with back to back large shows. Our supply of fabric is wonderful so you can expect some interesting and stunning new, one of a kind bags and table linens.
Since our wonderful time in NYC for the Vogue Live Show, all three of the sisters exhibited at the Stitches Santa Clara Show. What fun having the three of us and our customers in a small booth. It was great fun.

  • This is one of the rare pictures of the three of us! Jennie is on the left, I am in the middle and Linda is on the right
  • Buying fabric remnants at Prime Fabric. Huge boxes of fabric to explore. How Fun
  • Linda and Suzanne We just got our haircut and realized that we have the same hairstyle.
  • Dumpster Divings in NYC for beautiful fabric scraps. We came home with lovely treasures to make into bags and more.
  • I could spend a week just finding fabrics at this wonderful store.

3 Green Sisters.

My sisters and I have been sewing together our entire life. And, that is a long time considering I am the youngest at age 65! Our mother was a seamstress, our grandmother was a seamstress as was my great grandma!

We have been actively sewing for 3 Green Sisters for 16 years. We make knitting bags, bags and purses, and table linens, using fabric which have had a prior life or destined for landfill. Generous individuals, upholstery shops and drapery shops save their unwanted scraps of fabrics and end of bolts for us, instead of tossing them away.
We have a great contact online who sells ends of bolts of designer and decorators
fabric. Sometime the fabrics are off gage, stained or stretched. We cut around the flaws. We also visit second hand shops, yard sales, estate sales and more looking
for wonderful fabrics which need a new life.

Most of our products are one of a kind because of the limited amount of fabrics we receive. We do guarantee the work-woman-ship on every product we make. They
are made in the USA by us We are a green company,
using up cycled, re purposed, rescued and vintage fabrics. What fun it is.

In addition to keeping our active ETSY Shop us to date, we also exhibit at Knitting and Needle Art Shows around the country. We are lucky enough to exhibit
at the Vogue Live Knitting Shows and Stitches Shows each year.
