S^CRED CLOTHESLINE

Where are you from and/or where do you live? I am from the Philippines, living at its capital, Metro Manila.
What was the 1st thing you made? How did you start sewing? My first project was a black silk shantung basic-dress. I made the pattern from scratch as part of my first lesson in basic sewing & dressmaking school in one of the older dressmaking schools here in Manila called the Golden Hands Institute.

What is your favorite and what is your least favorite thing about sewing? I think my favorite would have to be being able to dress myself and my clients, having only our imaginations as a limit. My last client wanted a hot-pink silk dress copied from: a hot pink dress worn by Chloe Sevigny and a black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The result was exactly what we talked about, and much to my client’s approval. That exact outfit would have been impossible for her to find locally, and at such a reasonable price.
My least favorite would have to be the amount of work involved BEFORE getting to the actual sewing part. The pattern making, cutting and tracing alone takes me several hours. Sometimes it takes more time than the assembly and sewing part itself. But aside from that I like the work involved especially when the result is something that doesn’t look store-bought, and is very well-made.

Hey, Yugatech T-shirts are out and he is giving away 20 pieces. I wonder why he didn’t get his shirts from S^CRED. Check the pic and the promo here.

Because I am a sucker for both the tee and the free, I did a quick register over at Tradeport.com just to join his contests. T-Shirts and iPod are the prizes, definitely, I must join.

Last time, we sold 7500 towels.

Make that 10,000 ORDER PRINTS now, as last week, we delivered another 2500 pieces. This time onto white rounded neck t-shirts. We priced it cheaply though. Only P53 pesos per. These shirts will again be used by one multi-national company for their ongoing marketing drive to reach the masses. (And of course, again, our client is confidential. We wouldn’t want our competitors dialing them and sending quotations with P52 pesos per shirt, with print back and front.)

You got mass marketing t-shirt requirements? (Lemme me do my niece hep hep hurray shout out)… GO AHEAD AND SHOOT IT!

I almost bumped into the MOA-Collectibles Kiosk inside of course, Mall Of Asia. Yes, literally almost bumping into the glass because (a) MOA is crowded during weekends and (b) I think my eyes is no more 20/20. Jesus Christ, help me not wear eyeglasses this early!

Anyways, these MOA shirts and memorabillas are certainly targeted to be for kids on tour, foreigners, tourists, balikbayans (inlcuding the uto wowowee donors), etc., but I must admit, the colored variants are cool wear. One of these days, I might get one. Black printed Mall Of Asia Tee will set you back P270 and the colored ones, P340.00.
