Hey peeps, just a real quick one here to let you all know in case you haven't yet heard, LEGENDS of Main St is going out of business. Very very sad, loved that shop, and have been frequenting it for years. Always the best prices and quality. They are having a closing out week sale that started last Saturday and I can tell you Diane is practically giving it away. Everyday more stock is brought out from the back room, so good to try and go a couple times if possible. Also, there is a guest book at the front desk for you to leave your contact information should you be interested in attending some smaller shows, etc. that she will no doubt be hosting in the not so distant future.
I've posted a photo of the lovely Diane and a couple of the store front.
Try not too feel too guilty walking out with all that loot.......
.....and hats off to the fashionista proprietor who lovingly dressed us (and our casts) for so many years, we will be looking forward to keeping up with you and whatever new adventures you have in store! xo

Things have been crazy busy around here, so hence the belated updates!

I have posted some fabulous photos of a workshop I attended by Kathy Soucie, of Sans Soucie Clothing and Textile Design. It was a fantastic class on what is called Subtractive Cutting, a garment pattern cutting technique developed by Julian Roberts. I won't list all the ins and outs of it, but I will say its an incredibly intuitive process and creates really sculptural unique garments. Definitely worth learning, especially for those of us who dislike the "pattern" in pattern drafting.

Of course everything Kathy creates is always fantastic and her teaching skills are no different. Was a really fun, relaxing and playful workshop, with easy to understand instructions on what could have been very confusing material.

I highly recommend checking her out. Her stuff is amazing and her success well deserved.

Am heading into tech week for the show I'm designing, so I'll have some great photos of that to post within the next week or so!
