So in fear for my life, I have taken the time to write a November Update! Actually, I (gasp!) broke my last machine needle so physical production is on hold.
It's been a long time since the online community and far away friends have been informed of what's been going on in the world of
So, in case you were worried, we're alive and kickin' (it)...
I hoard fabric, we all know this. Most specifically I've got bins of remnants under my tables that drive me insane. Sometimes I cannot part with the tiniest piece of fabric because I swear that one day I will get around to using it.
Well, that day has come.
Scarves! Great!
Sondy Scarves! Genius!

Farewell to my lovely assistant, Christina, who has been helping me cut (and cut and cut) and iron aka "the fun stuff" for the past 8 months or so. My number one qualm with this sewing thing has been working alone, and I have to say having someone else in the workspace was definitely just what I needed. We've had a lot of fun (too much?!) and it's been a blessing to have someone to bounce ideas off of and get opinions from. Christina is so talented in many ways and I will miss her infectious laughter ringing throughout the workspace. So sad to be parting ways, but since phea jean will not be relocating to Texas, our time together must come to an end. We will all miss her here in Philly, but she will always remain a huge part of phea jean! Who knows maybe a visit to Texas will inspire a phea jean western wear line...rhinestone jeans, cowboy hats, gun holsters?! Or maybe not.
Hey, all my ideas can't be brilliant.
In any event, much success and happiness to you, my friend (and Lauren)!
That's all for now since Apollo has fallen asleep on my right arm and I am now forced to finish typing this one-handed (god forbid I disturb my angel!). I dare say December will be an exciting month and I have one piece of exciting news to reveal, when the time comes.
xoxo Amber
