I learned yesterday on Facebook that Shingo Sato is coming to Australia! “Who is Shingo Sato?” I hear you say…
Shingo Sato is a Japanese fashion designer and teacher of the Transformation Reconstruction technique. I used his techniques last year when I created Rainbow Girl’s rainbow dress.
If I ever have the time, one day I’d love to do a course in clothing pattern making, but when that might ever happen, I have no idea. However, a course with Shingo would be an achievable and enjoyable start.
The details of Shingo’s class can be found on the Beautiful Silks website. On checking the site again just then I noticed that the course will be 6-8th August this year. Doesn’t leave much time to organise things, methinks…! I had been thinking it was next year. Hmm… I hope I can make that work!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.

Best of luck with it!
I watched the video on the “Beautiful Silks”. It was fascinating to watch, at first I wondered where those soft folds of extra fabric were headed. The zipper placement was a WOW. I do hope you are able to attend the class what an opportunity, to see a master at work.
