Amber's coming back!

Amber has been in New York for the past 2 months and she is finally coming back! We have missed her so much! I don't know what we would do with out her at Yellow Bird Fabrics. Thanks for all you do Amber. We can't wait to see you!

Congratulations Jessie!

On August 12th 2010, Jessica Dunn became Jessica Dunn Parker. Jessie is my oldest and dearest friend. She is a beautiful person and I have been blessed to have her in my life for almost as far back as I can remember. I feel honored that she asked me to make her wedding dress. I don't want to brag, but I think she looked absolutely gorgeous! Then again, she always does.

Best wishes to you Jess, I hope you and Travis have a long and happy life together!

Beautiful things from our beautiful customers

Kathy Tanner, you've done it again! This is the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever had the privilege of witnessing. I'm sorry, this photo cannot do it justice. I'm really hoping that we might be able to display this beautiful work of art in the store so that others can appreciate it as much as I do.
Jenna is a design student at SLCC. She is incredibly sweet and incredibly talented (as you can see). This dress was on display at this years Raw Couture show. I was totally taken with it. Great job Jenna!
Sophie always amazes me with her immaculately tailored garments. This is just one of the many jackets that she has done. Trust me, it is as clean on the inside as it is outside. She is a real perfectionist.
Agnes is a great customer and a real sweetheart. She is always bringing in great ideas. I absolutely adore this knit skirt she made. It is simple and ingenious. I have yet to make it, but it is on my list of things to do. Thanks for the inspiration Agnes!

SLCC Designs

Back in February, the Salt Lake Community College Design Institute students had a little design competition. Yellow Bird Fabrics donated the materials needed and gift certificates for the winners. The designs were later auctioned off at an art show. All of the proceeds went to The American Red Cross for the Haiti fund. I finally got the pictures and here they are.
