Makes A Colorful Change Of Clothing View Video of Show (realplayer file 13 megs) Imagine nail polish that changes colors: it's one color at night or indoors, but it's another color in sunlight. The colors change with a special technology developed by SolarActive® of Tarzana. The company manufactures special chemicals that change color in sunlight; the changes take place in seconds creating a whole range of multi-colored or "two for one" products. You might buy a white shirt for night wear, and in the daylight the shirt becomes blue or green or purple or whatever. Then go indoors and the shirt changes to white again. SolarActive® is making a big impact on various industries including fashion, toys and personal products. Designers are starting to use the technology of this company including buttons that change colors, fabrics that change colors, and threads that change colors. In the toy industry there are action figures that change colors, and character lunch boxes that change colors. In the products category, there are water bottles, sports bottles, hair combs and clips and of course nail polish that changes colors. SolarActive® says its prices are about the same, or the same as for products without the color changing technology. Here are some examples: nail polish is $5.95 a bottle, shoe laces are $3.95 a pair, tee shirts are $14.95 each, sports bottles are $5.95 and hair clips are $3.95 each. For a catalogue and information call (818) 996-8690 or go to their website www.solaractiveintl.com -- and they handle consumer-direct orders and they wholesale to retailers. That's
Your Money. |

American Sewing Guild NOTIONS - Winter 2002 Issue
A
COLORFUL WINNER
When Marilyn Ellis set out to create the wedding dress of her daughter's dreams, she had no idea it would earn her national recognition.
Marilyn a member of the Indianapolis Chapter who has been sewing since she was 11, was inspired by several factors. The wedding was scheduled for the sunny month of July, her daughter's name is Angel, and she had just received an order of Solaractive® thread. She created a white satin gown with sparkle organza sleeves and bodice overlay. The bottom edge of the skirt and detachable train were embroidered with a rosebud vine pattern that matches a detail on the bridesmaids' dresses. The train also featured cutout angels and hearts that allowed a bit of the green lining to peek through. The majority of the embroidery was executed in light green and purple. In the church, the dress was traditionally white-on-white. But once the couple walked outside, it was abloom with color.
An acquaintance at an embroidery convention convinced Marilyn to enter the dress in SolarActive's® contest. And to her delight, she was the national winner. "It's the first time I ever won anything," says Marilyn. And to do it with my daughter's wedding dress makes it so special!"
