someone has to keep the bee's knees covered
Beesocks began on Etsy lo these many years ago (2005) making one of a kind feltpeople (flat felt dolls and custom portraits made from felt) They were pretty darn neat if I do say so myself! Felt is the most amazing material in the world, you can make anything out of felt if you put your mind to it. (I used polyester felt, a noble and versatile material that I am conveniently not allergic to)
As time went by Beesocks gradually evolved into making sewn covers for things, mostly kindles. The story goes like this- buy kindle, lose job, panic, make cover, sell cover, lather, rinse, repeat! (I was a professional cookie and cake decorator, it was a switch!)
At first they were completely hand-stitched marvels of creation that took FOREVER to make. I approached my neglected sewing machine with extreme caution and eventually we came to an understanding... it would sew straight lines, and I would feed it thread (and cover it with stickers and tell it how pretty it is)
Each cover is carefully made by me and modeled by my herd of glamorous cover models- multiple Kindles, Nooks, and oodles of non-working demo tablets, as well as a herd of rescues (broken gadgets adopted from ebay and given new purpose as supermodels)
Making kindle covers allows me to fuse my obsessive love of fabric with the analytical 'make stuff work' side of my brain. It also allows me to live off of my own creativity, there is nothing like the feeling of making something useful and pretty, and sending it off into the world for someone to use and enjoy :)
Your cover will be made in a fragrance and smoke free studio by little old me, from start to finish, from cutting the rectangles of fabric and batting to that last bit of hand-finishing.
Allergy sufferers, please note that my supervisor Bob is of the feline persuasion. (Bob does the majority of his supervising with his eyes closed in the kitchen window sunbeam)
oh, and its because of the socks. They're stripey. So...
