So you have a young seamster in your life? I love this magazine and lately just buy it for myself! Kiki: For Girls with Style and Substance. And guess what?!?!? This month they feature a pattern drafter! In my biased opinion...the unsung hero of all things sewn and manufactured. But you know, I am biased... Kiki always has clever projects, good information and profiles and NO ADS. Especially important if you do not want your young sewer (especially those of the female gender) to be bombarded with horrible ads featuring make-up, skinny models, or unnecessary things to buy. I wish... Continue reading

Yes! It is definitely making progress. I have a good design but am tweaking to make it easier to sew and a little more functional-it will definitely hold two sets of Interchangeables.. A new prototype or two have been made since the photo in the newsletter. I will try and post pics next week! Glad you are interested!
Spring Scramble (and I don't mean eggs)
Ahh...the lull before the busy season! It's good to feel rich with time-and time is certainly my currency. While previously scrambling to get loads of stuff done for Stitches West, I now feel queenly in dictating to myself what I can 'choose' to do each day. Basically I am in denial because I s...

Hi kasintehty...I do use a normal inkjet! I am currently using Tailor Iron On Quick Fuse Fabric Sheets (but you don't need to use the quick fuse kind- they can be plain ol' fabric and you peel off a paper backing once printed). The color is amazing and extremely crisp! And I've never had one jam in the printer. I always buy them with a 40% off coupon from Jo-Ann's since otherwise they are too pricey.
Keeping up!
The AAI students are plugging along...a few more than the rest of course! It's such a crucial time to encourage them to get started and in to a routine. The time flies! And I certainly don't want them getting discouraged. Renee and I met them at a local fabric store to help them pick fabric and...

Life after Master Pattern
This past Fall, I closed my pattern and design service business of eleven years. It was a tough decision as there is no shortage of work and in today's economic climate, I'm a fool to turn away from work, right? Well, call me a fool. My plan was to work on this little invention I have that corra...

I typically do not add my labels to knit garments however that isn't because I do not think they would work! If you are worried about the itch factor...try adding the label to the lower side seam (if there is one, and the seam will not be directly against skin).
Another place that could be cute is inside a placket (where something is buttoned up) either exposed when unbuttoned, or completely hidden all the time behind one. Think men's dress shirts...sometimes you see a label near the hem in the button placket.
Scarves are tricky! I see them gently tacked on so that they could be easily removable. This is where making your own comes in handy. You could make the background color blend in with the scarf perfectly so it is unobtrusive! I will post a how-to very soon! I just discovered an easier printer paper for my method!
Thanks for the comment!
