Made to Order

Okay so i guess you've picked up that .....Sparky Jones was the featured seller the other day!!! YipPy - i still can't believe it and i still can't seem to get off my high (like i keep waking up a 4am supa excited to get to work....what a nerd!)
Anyways in one of my sleepless nights..i realized that what i REALLY needed to do was have 'MADE TO ORDER' listings - as that way i can actually get the numbers of each size right!! Coz if you make all one size, everybody wants one of the other sizes yada yada.

So the skinny is as follows:::
If you just love a hat that i have posted (and it has MADE TO ORDER written beside it!)
What you do, is measure your head size, check the Sparky Jones sizes and then....just say you buy this delicious lil number....you tell me...little jj, what your head measurements are and what size you think you might be in the 'note from buyer' section!!!

Yeppers its that easy!!!

From there, after your order/payment has been confirmed, it will take 2 WEEKS for production(or faster depending on how many other things i have to do)......and then time in transit(which will depend on your locale...but i'm going to say roughly a week!)

Here is my lastest 'MADE TO ORDER' listing :::
There are 4 of these 'Trucker Tombo' Kepp Jones hats
I decided to make some hats similar to my very own work hat that i wear on my tomboy dirtmonkey days, coz so many people always comment on it (which is weird coz its always dirty and covered in vegetation). But i guess after a couple of years getting beat up...its still looking pretty good!!!!
Also i've been trying to be more resourceful and using what i have (coz i have a lot of fabric!)
so these guys have been reinforced with an upcycled heavy cotton curtain, to make them supa sturdy and uber eco!!!
Now everybody has been emailing me about the 'Sequoia Greens' Kinn Jones......I don't actually have enough fabric left to make more...BUT i have some colours that are pretty awesome together and look kinda similar.....I'm thinking of calling them 'Kinda Sprucey'!!!
Hope everyone had a fantabulous christmas!!! Mine was great...i actually got some sleep!!!!
Although i did miss my lil sweetie(My beau had chrissy with his family)...i told him i had to stay behind coz.......... i was about to get famous.::: giggle!!
bye bye for now
