Creative Packaging


This custom baby shower gift, which includes a hooded infant towel, washcloth, burp cloth, and bib, is carefully folded and and creatively bundled. It is tied with a strip of coordinating fabric, reducing the impact that gift wrap and ribbon has on the environment. Finally, a handmade tag is affixed to the gift using a tiny gold safety pin. The tag is nestled and sewn inside a coordinating fabric cover and includes care instructions, materials, designer, and website information.

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a...

SUPER KID!!
.

I am the Blue Torque...


I use my unprecendented powers to combat threats against humanity.


I risk my safety in the service of good without expectation of reward.
.
Because I exist, the world is a better place to live!

I go nowhere without my trusted young sidekick Monkey.

When I am not saving the world from supervillians...

I use my extraordinary powers of lightning-fast speed, gravity-defying jumps, and sonic screaming...


to have FUN, FUN, FUN!!

The distinctive costume that I wear to conceal my secret identity is called The Torque Cape!

Torque

Torque is Nest of Threads' newest cape design. A red gear is appliqued to a bright blue front fabric and backed with a turquiose fabric. The red strap fastens with snap buttons. More pictures to come!





Designer Dish Cloth

Dish towel is made of 100% cotton fabric on front and huckcloth on back.




This is the first towel in a series of three patterned towels. Fabrics chosen to compliment pale turquoise kitchen walls, light travertine flooring, and copper containers and decoration.
