Kiva Tee-Shirts






 We recently had the pleasure of working with Threadbare Apparel to produce some new Kiva tee-shirts.  Threadbare is a handmade clothing company started recently here in Eugene by Amy and Jaylene, two talented mothers who are turning their creative powers toward fashioning amazing apparel.

In their own words,
"We are neighbors and friends who share a love of art, printing, coffee, gardens, thriftstore shopping and making clothes. Our kids spend endless hours runnning back and forth between our houses to play or deliver messages. Amy has been screenprinting for years and Jaylene has been designing for years. Now we have combined our efforts to introduce Threadbare!  Aside from doing small run silkscreening orders for local businesses, we also have our own line of clothing which can be found at http://www.threadbareapparel.etsy.com/.  You can also find us at local craft shows such as Meet Your Maker."

We are very excited to have a full line of new tee-shirts for sale at the Kiva.  Amy and Jaylene did a wonderful job of incorporating the traditional Kiva kokopelli logo into some exciting new designs.  Check out a slideshow of the new Kiva shirts:



In addition to their Etsy storefront, Threadbare Apparel has a blog with some very interesting content, from sewing tutorials to book reviews.  Follow the links to learn more and support a local business!
