Today I review the book “Fashioning Fashion”, which is a gorgeous book showing beautiful clothes from LACMA’s incredible fashion collection. I do a flick through so you can see what’s in the book, and also show some details that particularly caught my eye.

Today I tell you all about my favourite hoop (it’s a Klass and Gessmann 8 inch hoop with stand) and why I love it.

Detail of Dovo Hardanger scissors blades […] For some time now I have stocked the Klass and Gessmann hoops and sitting stands (also known as fanny frames). Previously I only had the 8 inch hoop as standard and all other sizes were a special order. I now have the full range! This means that you can now order the following sizes: 155mm/6 […] Sometimes in my classes, people use Frixion pens. I always express my caution about them. To me, they, and those “wash out” markers are not what I would be using. I do not like the idea of marking my embroidery with a pen ink that disappears. This is because I cannot be sure that […] Premax 2.75in / 7cm embroidery scissors This morning I was taking part in a discussion on the best scissors for Hardanger in a web group.
