Wow, is it already March? I can’t believe how time is flying by. Usually January and February are the slow times of year in the scooter seat cover business, but I’ve been steadily busy. So much so that I’ve had to temporarily limit making any [...]

My supplier has changed its dye lot of pink cheetah fabric significantly. What I dubbed “light pink cheetah” (above, left) on my web site isn’t available any more (at least for now), and all I can get is what I just call “pink cheetah” (above, right). If you have asked for samples of light [...]
Last Thursday, the highlight of the day was shopping at Mood, the fabric store that is featured in Project Runway. Imagine three giant floors of fabulous fabric – even if you don’t sew for a living like I do, I’m betting this place would blow you away.[click for a larger image]
One of my favorite finds [...]
It seems that a lot of people who get a Vespa GTS with a black seat want a tan seat, and a bunch that get them with tan seats want black ones. Well, you can order a new seat, wait for one to come up on ebay, or you can get a plain fabric seat [...]
Just a quick post to show you some of the fabulous premium furs that I’m planning to get in soon!
from the bullies at Burberry – a big fat “no.”

I had posted over on Vespaway about Nuclia Waste’s new glow in the dark scooter. Yesterday, Mike from coolightwest.com posted a comment about his company – who happens to make glow-in-the-dark fabric. Now, keep in mind, I haven’t seen this fabric in person, so I don’t know for sure how well it would work for [...]
I got the official word from one of my wholesalers yesterday. Blue camo fabric may be available in three to four months, but I’m guessing we shouldn’t hold our breath. In the meantime, those looking for cool blue fabric should check out the blue and black cow, blue hibiscus (while it lasts!) or blue flames. [...]
bubble fur makes prime time
Published on August 4th, 2006 in fabric and scooter seat cover sightings. 0 CommentsWhat are the chances of my making a Vespa LX seat cover out of pink bubble fur the same week the Head of Household on Big Brother All Stars has a matching pink bubble fur bedspread?!?
Many people have written to ask for blue camoflage and grey camoflage, and sadly, none of my suppliers have these fabrics any more. Technically the blue camo is on backorder, but I’m not getting the most optimistic feeling about it. I have a small sampling of regular ol’ green and yellow camo if anyone is [...]
