Fjallraven Kanken No. 2 Laptop with Hand Embroidery


Kanken No. 2 - 15" Laptop - Super Grey - Custom Hand Embroidery by After August Co 

Working with these bags is an absolute DREAM! Fjallraven's patented G-1000 material, while being water resistant and windproof, is soft and easy to embroider. They are a wonderful canvas for hand embroidery! 

 

 

The fabric allows for much more delicate stitching - satin stitches, which are generally tougher on Classic Kanken material because of its toughness and tendency to bunch, are much more successful on the G-1000 fabric!

June 13th 2020 - Amidst Social Unrest and a Global Pandemic - Parents Soldier On

Image
06.13.2020      I will start off this blog entry by stating first and foremost that we at After August Co stand beside good people of all creeds, backgrounds, and nationalities so long as they have love and peace in their hearts. We feel that it is necessary in this vital time in our global history to stand together against injustices of all kinds. As small business owners and parents we must continue to care for our family; we must carry on and provide for those who depend upon us.

At an age of advanced technology and global social awareness, our society has taken a turn towards the tumultuous. Now in the face of global pandemic we have chosen to stand apart and weaken our capabilities to create a stronger more unified future....

The New Normal 6/27/20

See what else we have going on - Visit us on  Etsy We have been doing our best to not leave the house unless we need something; and we have been paying for our physical health and well being with our parental sanity. Our two eldest children, 6 & 7, are far too close in age (and both girls) to be in such close proximity for indeterminate amounts of time. Our Youngest at 18 months (a sweet little maniac boy) is thrilled that everyone is home to play with him all day long.  Whenever anyone leaves we have masks. We wash hands and sanitize. We social distance. A trip for one of us to Michael's for DMC thread or other odds and ends used to be a nice little family outing designed to inspire the craftiness in our girls and replenish our supplies. Now we order online or pickup curbside - often without attaining the required materials and almost never accomplishing the day-saving side quest of a craft project for our children.  For a small family operation this pandemic has giv...

The Small Business Guide To Digital Marketing: Part One vol. 2 - Fast Twitch Marketing

 Instagram: Fast Twitch Marketing  James Hanway of After August Co When I first logged into Facebook a cruise ship with my grandparents the summer before college I thought it was the hippest and most unique tech experience I'd ever had. Until that moment I had only experienced AIM (AOL Instant Messenger for anyone younger than 30) and the thought of an entire social network only for college kids (which at that moment I still had technically had never been to college) was just the coolest. This was 2005 - a lot has changed since then. Now in 2020 the era of 'fast twitch' marketing is in full swing, and with it has come an entirely new generation of advertising executives. They're called Influencers - and they are a force to be reckoned with.  Scrolling through the Instagram feed requires more and more finesse to decipher what posts are paid ads and which are run by an influencer - and honestly what the actual difference between the two is. A paid ad typically is created...
