Just an Update
Just a bit of an update.
Patterns:
The changes to the patterns mention in may last post went well and are on their way to Kinkos for printing as I type.
Kakurenbo Dress - Re-named the Sock Puppet dress (the front style line reminds me of sock puppets.) For the wee ones birthday I made her an altered version with one of her favourite fabrics - Ikea hippos. I altered the pattern to be a halter dress with the horizontal style line moved up 1/2" and voila! it works! It hangs much nicer in the woven then in the knit. For the new pattern I also changed the front style line, it is no longer mirrored and as I mentioned it reminds me of sock puppets. I am really looking forward to making the new sample.
The Nejiri Dress - I made changes to the twist as well as making a variation that is a tank top.
These three patterns are going to be a part of my next release. I have decided to release patterns in groups/lines rather then individually. I think it will work better as far as work flow goes for me. This group will be all inspired by the Pattern Magic drafting books I mention in my last post.
Tutorials:
I have two tutorials that I'm working on. Both are how to draft types. I they have been tested but now need the instructions and illustrations made.
There are some other odds and ends I'd like to get to but between family visits and birthday parties it has been hard to find the time. Hopefully November won't be as crazy, thank goodness Thanksgiving is in October.
