We haven’t had a book reading post for a while, so here’s a new one. I took the opportunity to read quite a few books over the school holidays. Many were quite forgettable, but a few made a real impression on me. If you love the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall […] Thank you all for your feedback on aspects of the rainbow dress over the last few days. My husband and I have decided on Version 1 – my choice was always between 1 and 3. As pink is her favourite colour for the highest percentage of the time, we’re going with that closest to her […] Thank you all for your great comments on the rainbow dress design yesterday. There were some very carefully considered responses, and I enjoyed working through your reasoning with you. I really appreciate the thought that went into the answers. Its been fascinating reading of others’ points of view. Last night after the girls had settled […] I’m planning a dress for the rainbow child’s (my younger daughter) birthday in a month or so. I thought that it would be fun to put the TR technique into action, and give it a try. (I found it very inspiring!) I’d love your input into which design I should choose. Please note that the […] Recently I was introduced to some interesting videos on Youtube. They demonstrate a style of pattern design called Transformational Reconstruction (or TR) by Shingo Sato. It is absolutely fascinating. Shingo uses his method to create very unusual patterns by drawing lines (mostly curves) on a shell garment on a dressmaker’s dummy, then cutting along those […] When I was at uni, I studied graphic design. I took many different classes as part of that degree, most of which were core subjects, and very few of which were electives. One of my core subjects was 3D model making. I loved this subject! It was right up my alley, and I came to […] There’s something very satisfying about a piece of crisp white linen, just begging for some embroidery. Add to that a (reasonably) newly designed pattern, some soft white thread, and a needle, and you have a project made in heaven. So much potential! I love starting new embroidery projects. Yesterday I started a new one for […] I’ve been toying with the idea of submitting my Night at the Opera hardanger bag to a handbag design competition that is currently being promoted on BurdaStyle: the 2011 Independent Handbag Designer Awards presented by InStyle and Handbag Designer 101. I popped on over to the competition website to learn about it all. There is […] Today will be a busy day photographing needlework and either sending the photos off, or sending the needlework off. All the projects are for upcoming classes, some soon and some more than a year away! Some of the photos will need to be styled shots, some not. Some will be closeups of detail, to go […] Recently I received an email from Carole (to which I did reply, Carole, but it bounced. Sorry!): Thanks for letting us see the finished dress. We have been involved from the start and what fun! Making the leotards sounds difficult. I’m not sure I know how to sew on stretchy fabric. I have some cotton […] |
