    Five Fantastic Community Concious Crafty Women. Hip crafts inspired by fashion recycling, local materials, need and desire. We believe that people should pay more attention to how we make things and try to make this a focus as we create everything from underwear and fashion items to dolls and diaper covers. Not to mention beautifully hand-dyed wool, laptop bags and whatever else we feel like making. We're talented.

    This is Miriam's original blurb, (just wanted to post it here, so that it would be with what Willa wrote and make it easier for me to edit): The Material Girls Collective is a group of community-conscious fabulous ladies be they Mamas, veteran Mamas, cool or simply amazing people( I know we won't keep this but I couldn't resist). We believe that people should pay more attention to how we make things and try to make this a focus as we create everything from underwear and fashion items to dolls and diaper covers. Not to mention beautifully hand-dyed wool, laptop bags and whatever else we feel like making. Basically we're superheroes in disguise.

We believe that people should pay more attention to how AND WHERE we make things (AND FOOD) and try to make this a focus as we create everything from underwear and fashion items to dolls and diaper covers. Not to mention beautifully hand-dyed wool, laptop bags and whatever else we feel like making. We're smart and talented.

  6. I think t-shirts and casual apparel are the same thing. I'd like diaper covers to be in there and liked fashion items because it is a good blanket phrase for the other things I make. As far as Sarah and Erin's stuff being left out of the blurb, we should add t-shirts I think but casual apparel doesn't really apply to anything as far as I'm concerned. Casual apparel is like hoodies, leggings, you know, actual clothing. What do you think?

  7. T-shirts is a fine thing to add, earrings, or more generally jewelery would suit i think. Aprons, t-shirt, jewelery and patches could be added i think.
    any one else?
