Chanel-style Jacket

This jacket is a Chanel-style, based on Vogue 7975. Using Susan Khalje's techniques from "Inside a Chanel Jacket", I made several modifications to the pattern. You can read all about its construction...

Re: Some Fun Summer Sewing Patterns

I finished Vogue 8727 yesterday. Today I'm going to start on StyleArc's Cruise Club Kim Dress.

Re: High Fashion and Haute Couture in the Windy City

One of the best things about the fashion show, and the Haute Couture Club of Chicago in general, is the warm reception each and every piece received from the audience. The members of the club aim to increase their knowledge and skills, and they are wonderfully supportive of their fellow members. As an instructor, I found it particularly heartening to see how enthusiastic everyone was about sewing, and how willing they all are to share their experience and knowledge. The group is really a treasure, and I would love to see groups like it in other cities.

What a great idea! This is something I would do, sitting on the couch watching football games.

Re: Interview with "Dancing With The Stars" Costume Designer

What a great interview April, thank you! I have made ballroom and latin dance dresses. They took MUCH longer than Randall's to make and they were some of the most challenging garments I've ever made. Reading his input is fascinating!
