Issey Miyake Pattern

 

As a result of my spring cleaning, I have found a few patterns in my archives that I am releasing to good homes (and seamstresses/collectors). Among them is this stylish Issey Miyake coat pattern. Also currently available are dress patterns by Givenchy, a classic Perry Ellis summer ensemble, an elegant Chloe cocktail dress, and an Oscar de la Renta suit. More to come!

Grace, Yarn by Louisa Harding

Grace, Yarn by Louisa Harding, originally uploaded by confections.

New year, new projects. On January 16th, my sister and I were thrilled to attend a reception and talk by Louisa Harding at one of our local yarn shops, The Grove. Louisa was in San Diego to participate in the TNNA (The National NeedleArts Association) show.

Louisa Harding is a stellar knitwear designer. She regaled us with tales of her entry into her career and brought along a trunk show of delicious fashions.

My sister and I each bought a pattern book (which she graciously signed) and some of her scrumptious yarns to launch us into the new year of knitting.
