Snow Day

Morning.

Woke up to a very snowy Hull this morning. 
It was as if I'd woken up in a beautiful magical land.
I love it!
But now it's starting to melt. When I was riding to work, it didn't look so pretty, more like a grey slushy mess. I still love it though and I'm actually hoping it snows more, even though I'm sat here at work freezing my butt off ha. Come on heaters! 

Getting on with designing new prints for t-shirts today. So a day of photoshop for me. 

Looking good what I've done so far. Can't wait till we can begin making the screens and printing them. 

Such an exciting process. Anyway best get cracking.

Thanks for reading.

Have an ace day.

This Cold Weather!

The colder weather makes us want cups of Tea... 

ALL OF THE TIME! 

Plus lots of cake, biscuits, pastries, just any kind of carbs and sugar! Just EVERYTHING! 

It just makes hand sewing much more enjoyable and easier!

Cold Weather + Three Girls = FOOODD!!

Oh and a few episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Christmas!

Amy Here!

We're all a bit excited for Christmas this year! We're finishing our Festive prints, along with our new Hull prints too! Really excited to reveal these, I think they're our best yet!

Plus it was Mr. Gosling's Birthday yesterday.

So here he is wrapped in Christmas lights... 

Polka Dots, Velvet and Christmas!!

Our new Threads have gone down great in Topshop over the past couple of weeks! We have a two NEW skater dresses, a peach fabric with velvety black polka dots! The other is a dipped forest green speckled fabric, with an embellished waist band. They are absolutely B. E. A. Utifullll!! They will be in store on Thursday! So we will be having a big re-merchandise to make it look lovely for you all!

The pink velvet 'Minnie' skirts have nearly sold out! Not to worry though, we shall be getting more of those cut out and made up as soon as possible! No harm done if you can't wait though ;) We may also be doing them in different colours... Watch this space!

As for everybody starting their Christmas shopping, we're thinking about new t-shirt designs, things that make Christmas a unique time for Hull, Yorkshire or Britain! If anyone has any great ideas feel free to Tweet us @bowesthreads they will be much appreciated! 

As you can see Gosling will be at the top of our lists... orr Toy Story pyjamas!

You can also find some great stocking fillers and presents on our website...

Late night rambles with a hint of denim!

Amy here, bit of a late night ramble so here goes!

This week we have been printing on some vintage shorts. Last time, we tried bleaching with stencils, but now we have refined our technique and method in producing these shorts. 

Photos like these make me realise how far us three girls have come in such a short amount of time. Little improvements such as our garment labels, new and more advanced dyes make all the hard work we put in, feel all the more rewarding. 

I do love working with Sarah and Katie and I can see all three of us growing in confidence. I mean, Katie is using the sewing machine like a pro ;) I'm not getting Sarah to sort out the fiddly bits I hate and Sarah has been doing more pattern cutting, still can't get her to cut out though He he! ; ) I'm not saying we've not been able to any of that before but they can do our heads in! So we've all been stepping out of our comfort zones without realising and things are starting to benefit from it! :)

Oh, and we have stopped being so indecisive! ;)

Overall, seeing the quality of our work get better and better is AMAZZZIINNG and I am SSOOOO proud of us!!

We're hopefully getting a new work space soon too! As well as our FIRST Autmun/Winter range!

We can't forget you lovelies, we love seeing our customers happy with their garment(s), that is the best thing EVER!  

Peace&Love

Festival Envy, Psychadelic Dye and New Threads!!

We have found some new dye!! Our tees will be SOOO bright! We can't wait to use them, that is... once Katie has worked out how we use them ;) Our pretty tie dye skater skirts have been going down very well so we have decided to do more, some with a little twist as we will be using the new brighter dyes for the more adventurous ladies! Each and every one still being one of a kind! 

We know the weather has been lovely and hot! But our little heads have been starting to finalise our Autumn/Winter collection! We're very excited to finish everything off and have it ready for you all when the cold returns! But lets not talk about that any more and enjoy this sun while we have it! 

Our new little baby grows will be in store very soon! They the perfect little gift!

As we all have festival envy I'd like to leave you with some Tame Impala...
