Craftiest Bastard of the Week: Lemon Cadet

Each week we feature an advertiser from the Crafty Bastards Classifieds. This week the honor goes to…

Lemon Cadet!

Lemon Cadet

Lemon Cadet has got the (faux) fur with Yeti Panties, Yeti and Bigfoot onesies, t-shirts, and sweatshirts. Don’t forget about the little bean guy and his weird friends. Sizes range from premie to ladies plus.

According to the Lemon Cadet website:

“I start each piece by picking out the fabrics that will look best. I love shapes and patterns, especially vintage and retro prints. I sketch the figure out loosely on the Wonder Under paper (fusible interfacing) and let the scissors do the rest. Before I start to sew the edges, I use the iron to fuse the fabric to the garment. It’s important to me that the clothes are well made.”

Crafts and Kisses Call for Vendors

If you have been looking for a really cool show to sell your handmade goodies at in February, you are in luck! Crafts and Kisses, a Valentine-themed craft fair in Washington, DC, is looking for a few more vendors.

The fair will take place on Sunday, February 3rd, from noon to 5pm. The location is the Josephine Butler Parks Center, a gorgeous old mansion right next to Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park on 15th Street NW. It’s situated a few blocks from both the Columbia Heights Metro and the U Street Metro.

This fair will feature 30 to 40 vendors, entertainment, edible treats and drinks. You are welcome (and encouraged) to make Valentine or even anti-Valentine themed crafts, but this is not required. BUST magazine is a media sponsor and will help to market the event.

Craftiest Bastard of the Week: The Wading Pool

Each week we feature an advertiser from the Crafty Bastards Classifieds. This week the honor goes to…

The Wading Pool!

The Wading Pool

The Wading Pool creates unusual original art, art prints, and handpainted gifts.

According to The Wading Pool’s Etsy profile, “I like to incorporate found objects into my paintings ( old photos, pages of books, coffee filters and other organic materials). Many of my works are based on women’s behavior and culture. I tried to put a twist on many women’s issues and the visual concept of the naked female body placed in a non-traditional way.”
