It always seems like I hibernate from blogger land for too long while I'm focused on stuff elsewhere. Truth is, I find it harder and harder to multi-task as age creeps up on me. So now we are at the end of another year and I surface to find my blog looking at me with disgust for neglecting it.
So lets update it with something significant. Our new collection is out. It has no name, on purpose. Cos if you like it, we will keep it alive for eternity. Or at least till they no longer manufacture the fabric. And then we will probably keep the style but change the fabric. It depends, I guess, on a variety of factors. But I never understood how anything goes 'out of style' if there is a constant demand for it.
I learnt a lot in producing this line of clothing. Mostly from this book. It really is invaluable if you have plans to manufacture your own sewn goods. Go subscribe to the blog too. Ms Fasanella is a well of useful information and very generous with dispensing it.
I'm proud of this collection. All the clothes are produced in-house and manufactured in as lean a way as I can manage it. I'm also proud of the fact that I wrote the website myself and figured out all the tech stuff with a bit of trial and error and with cogent help from the support people of Webfaction, our host. It was no mean feat, for a middle-aged, untrained, near/far-sighted stick-in-the-mud to accomplish. Very satisfying.
Merry Christmas, all, and have a Happy New Year!

I started sewing at 9 years old. Yes, I was that child who cut old table cloths to make floral printed dresses for her stuffed animals. Two decades later, I quit a steady career in teaching to start my own business in the apparel industry. It's been a couple more decades and I can't seem to stop (yes, I have tried). So with a sense of joyous resignation, I continue to create custom clothing and patterns, and find time to teach drafting and sewing at my studio and online.
