A Taste of "My Fair Lady"
This dress was commissioned by a woman who saw something similar in a department store window. We made a couple design changes to better fit her shape and sense of style.
"Clean Lines" pillows
I am in the process of making these couch pillows for a friend who just closed escrow on a small cottage. She requested very clean lines so we're keeping it simple. I will post more pictures as I...

Re: It Starts With the Sketchbook
I'm glad to see this article! I CANNOT draw so I avoided sketching for a long time. Recently I became interested in clothing design so I thought I'd give it a try. Now, my sketches don't look near as wonderful as yours, but the process really helped me to get the creativity flowing - I was really surprised! Even if I never follow through with some of the ideas, I found the practice in this creative process to be really beneficial.

That looks great...and SO comfortable. Aren't you so thankful for jersey knits? Dressy yet comfy too! :)

Thank you! It was NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to find the dot print my customer wanted so we ended up having to use a poplin we found at www.equilter.com! The entire dress is made of 97% cottton, 3% lycra! We were nervous that it would look very "cottony", but the style was enough, I think, to make it dressy.

I just had my son in February and also have been thinking about boys clothing. As I tried to find him outfits for Easter, Mother's Day, etc. I was surprised at how few outfits they had and the one's they did have were not my style! Fabrics conducive to boys clothing is also a challenge. I'm glad someone else is looking into it, though. There IS a hole in the market there! :)

I LOVE my industrial. In fact, I have the same one you talk about in this article. I used to sell home sewing machines and know all about the wonderful stitches they boast. While, like Ann, I use my fancy home sewing machine for buttonholes every once in a while, I use my Juki for EVERYTHING. I sew bridal, home dec, & baby items like nursing covers, etc. I love the speed and strength the industrial offers, though it does depend on what type of sewing you do whether or not it would be useful for you. Be careful, though because once you sew at that speed, you never want to go back to a regular machine again!! :)
