New Outlook

I have spent the last few weeks reorganizing and I think I have found a happy medium. I have changed the studio to by appointment only and I feel less stressed. A store front is not for me with all of my other responsibilities.


There have been lots of new faces coming signing up for the trips and I am excited about all this new interest in the studio. I hope it continues to grow. I truly enjoy watching each of you grow in your sewing passion.


Last Friday I spent the day in New York with my Mom. We had a great time and we covered a lot of ground. Both of us got some really great pieces. Every time I go there I get so excited when I find something I haven't seen before. This trip I found a menswear store that will excite my men sewers and non sewers. They had beautiful shirtings and wools, great plaids and seer suckers too. Shindo was another store I hadn't been too. Lots of trims, edgings, elastics, and ribbon. All very cool stuff. I was most intrigued with the knit binding they had in every color imaginable. Great store.


I've attached some pictures of the things I bought this past trip and the trip before. I hope it inspires you. I have a couple of gowns to finish today, but I hope to get my cardigan done at least. Check back to see the progress.
