Introduction

It's about time I step out from behind the sewing machine, and introduce myself... I'm the other half of Wilde Fig, Becky. I wear many hats during the day: mom of 2 boys, software engineer, cook, chauffeur, and a maker of many things. I love to sew. I grew up in a house where in September you not only did your back to school shopping, but the kids had to determine what they wanted to be for Halloween so my mom could sew all of the costumes. I look forward to continuing this tradition! Here at Wilde Fig, we strive to create great designs that you will love; things that we, as moms, think are necessary. A lot of the items you will find at Wilde Fig are custom designs that emerged from something we needed. We love finding and using beautiful fabric, and believe that there is more to baby products than pink and blue, ducks and teddy bears. Orange is the new green here at Wilde Fig -- it's GREAT for girls and boys! (If you saw my house, you'd see that I was partial to orange anyway.) But, not to worry, we have some beautiful green products as well.

Speaking of green products.... we also believe strongly in sustainable living. We are working towards coming up with new designs for a whole line of sustainable living products. Our first will launch with the store in September, it has gone through several versions of the design, and has now emerged.... wait for it... the Wilde Fig Coffee Wrap. It's like a mini quilt for your coffee cup so you can keep your fingers from the heat, look cute, and stop using those little cardboard coffee holders (I don't even want to think about how many of these I've wasted!) Tomorrow I will introduce one of the other Wilde Fig creations that I know you'll love, and has become an every day item around our house.
