Read MoreSo I am going to spend the next couple weeks talking to you a bout photography for testers. I'm specifically going to be giving you tips for kids clothing, but you can check out my posts HERE and HERE for women's photography tips. In the last couple of months I have noticed a ton of posts where people are asking how to get involved in testing - and this is GREAT!!! As a designer, I am constantly on the look for new talent in my testing pools to keep a fresh perspective.
Read MoreWell, I am excited to tell you about a little something that will either help or not (depending on your current fabric addiction status) your need for fabric. It wasn't until recently that I heard of Fabric Fix and it really is the perfect way to get your fabric “fix”. Fabric Fix is a monthly subscription that will send you designer fabric, notions, and other goodies.
Read MoreIn general I don't consider myself a fabric hoarder - I sew my fabric and I really try not to buy without a project in mind. However, I can't ever say no to new fabric lines when they fall in my lap - no matter how tight the deadline or if I have no clue what I am going to sew with it, I always say YES! When Merav asked me if I might want to participate in sewing up Ana Davis' new line, Born Wild, for Blend Fabrics; not only did I say YES, but I knew exactly what I wanted to make. And what I wanted to make was a new design that was just hours old on my sketch pad.

Read MoreLisa here from Not Sew Selfish, a website dedicated to inspiring and encouraging women to sew for themselves. Sewing for myself is my hobby, and an important part of self care for me a creative outlet at the end of a long day, and the chance to have some time to myself, and to do something for myself. I’m always looking for new styles and new techniques, to challenge my creativity and learn new skills (and to end up with the most fabulous, unique, well fitting wardrobe too, let’s face it!).
