I’ve been such a fan of RuPaul since his first book. I love how he writes and conveys his enthusiasm and attitude about life. It’s a mindset I try to cultivate and his new book is—of course—super inspiring. I’ve never even watched his shows on TV, but the person behind the persona has some wisdom to drop. We’re offering it as a Basic or Deluxe Kit and a PDF pattern.
I chose this quote from very early in Ru’s career because it jumped out at me and, also, lately I’ve seen too many people feeling discouraged and even ruined by haters. I don’t get a lot of haters, thankfully, but DANG, the hate is never really about you, it’s always about what’s going on with the hater. Don’t let them get you down! Charge ever onward!

That’s it for this week, I’m making progress stitching a pretty complex new pillowcase design and I gotta say how much I enjoy a long project. I usually prefer the quickies, but there’s something satisfying about getting into the rhythm of the design and picking it up again and again. You’ll see! Plus, get ready for tote season, we’ve got some new ideas coming next week!
Stay cool,
xoxo

p.s. I took this photo in East Texas YEARS ago before the sign fell apart and disappeared, but a friend just PhotoShopped it back to life for me! In the meantime, there were some pretty good guesses at what the word behind the weeds was on Instagram.
