Sneak Peek at more new items: Cut Out and Collect

Cut Out and Collect will be offering some very special back to school items for students returning to the University of Oklahoma, including some oversize book bags and reusable composition book covers made with rare Japanese linens. These composition book covers keep your standard composition book stylish and slip on and off when you need to replace the notebook.


The studio has been quite busy creating some large accent pillows to help spice up dorm rooms and stylish Oklahoma mansions, alike. And what dinner party is complete without a retro hostess apron!?

Of course, Cut Out and Collect has been hiding away some very special fabrics to offer Oklahoma buyers the signature handbag in brand new prints

Meet the Designers: Cut Out and Collect

Cut Out and Collect is the brainchild of seamstress Cheyne Little. She designs and creates handbags, wallets, and home decor using two hands, rare fabrics, an intense attention to detail, as well as a sense of humor. Cut Out and Collect began as a way for Cheyne to avoid graduate school, jobs involving fax machines, and other acceptable adult endeavors, more than three years ago. She regrets to inform us that she used a fax machine last week.

With successful architects, photographers, and seamstresses in the family, it was no surprise that she would choose to pursue a career in the arts. After graduating with a Bachelor's in Art History, she traveled to Thailand to volunteer at the National Museum in Bangkok and explore a new world of artistic expression. Cheyne found herself spending more time with her own sewing projects. Upon returning to Texas, she leapt into the world of independent business!

When she's not behind the sewing machines, she can be found pouring a freshly roasted cup of coffee in Arlington's Coffee Haus Downtown. Cheyne explains "I still love to get out of the studio and work with others. I think it's important for anyone working in a creative field to give themselves a change of pace every now and then." She runs a small boutique inside the independent coffee shop with the goal of bringing the handmade movement to Arlington. The boutique sells strictly handmade and limited-production items (including necklaces from Pamela Michelle) to ensure a unique shopping and gift-giving experience.

She still believes in Santa and always asks him for world peace as her Christmas present. She also knows a secret cupcake recipe for bribery and swears by the healing properties of coffee and indie rock dance parties.

Welcome to the Super Sneaky Collaboration Project

3 independent designers with a collaborative secret travel to The Dustbowl Arts Market in Norman, Oklahoma from Dallas, Texas to present to you their Super Sneaky Collaboration Project.

See the secret that is the Super Sneaky Collaboration Project designed by Dowdy Studio, Pamela Michelle and Cut Out and Collect at the Dustbowl Arts Market, a open air, all handmade market focused on originality and innovative art on Campus Corner in Norman Oklahoma from 10am-6pm. In the spirit of being collaborative, these 3 designers, who are leaders in the handmade movement in Texas, have kept their collaborative designs top secret until now, and will showcase and sell them for the first time at the Dustbowl Arts Market.

Shevaun Williams, a nationally renowned commercial photographer, who often houses the 3 young designers when they come into Oklahoma says “These are innovative, young artists from the Dallas area. We can learn so much from these young designers through their interest in collaboration, groundbreaking ideas and commitment to a vision.”

Collaborative efforts between artists can encourage growth and spawn innovative ideas as each artist is forced to view their artistic medium in new and different applications. Dylan of Dowdy Studio, an artist birthed out of the great state of Oklahoma, hand-prints his original hand-drawn designs on tshirts, and has recently teamed up with his girlfriend, Pamela Jackson of Pamela Michelle and friend Cheyne Little, of Cut Out and Collect to create new collaborative designs. Pamela Michelle has been creating handmade wooden and art jewelry inspired by her paintings since 2007. The Scandinavian decent is apparent in her retro-modern and youthful illustrations and designs. Cut Out and Collect originally began as Cheyne Little's attempt to avoid graduate school and has grown into a line of one-of-a-kind handbags, accessories, and home decor items known nation-wide. Born in Oklahoma City as well, Little has deep family ties to the University of Oklahoma and comes home for the Dustbowl Arts Market.
