Are you ready!?

Today I am very excited to announce, that I will be designing fabric for Art Gallery Fabrics! I have a mini collection that will be coming out this Fall, called Color Me Retro! You all know how much I love, love, love their fabrics, so it's really a dream come true!

Make sure and join us for two Twitter chats today! We'll be chatting about all things fabric, sewing, and blogging! Follow hashtag #talknt2 for our first chat from 1-3pm EST and #talknt for our second chat from 9-11pm EST! (I use Tweetchat.com to easily follow along and participate!)

You can see all the prints on the Art Gallery Fabrics website, here.  It will be in stores in February-March 2013!

I hope you like it! I've started a Color Me Retro Pinterest Board to share a bit of my inspiration for the line with you! :)

New Look + Exciting News!

Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a good start! I'm gearing up for a great one!

I have some beyond exciting news to share with you tomorrow, so I wanted the blog to look its best! It was high time to update things, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I think everything looks fresh and clean! I hope you'll take a look around!

I did all of the re-designing myself using the Adobe Creative Suite (I know a few of you asked!). I edit my photos in Lightroom and Photoshop, the graphics were drawn in Illustrator, and my patterns are put together in InDesign. 

Okay, you're all going to come back tomorrow for the news, right?! You won't want to miss it! :)

New Garments

Hi Everybody! We are now safely back in Wisconsin but oh-so-tired! It was a long day of driving, so I'm going to make this quick! I couldn't wait any longer to share these garments with you!

I've already made a lot of Tova tunics and Tanks using the Wiksten patterns, but these two were special.  Both used extra special fabrics and feel so luxurious! The first is a Tova tunic made using Liberty Tana Lawn.  It feels like butter!

The second is a shirt (using the Wiksten Tank pattern with sleeves from the Scout Tee by Grainline), made from Nani Iro double gauze! I love how this fabric feels, and the colors are so me! I got mine from Form and Fabric!

These are already getting a lot of wear, and I just finished them last week and the week before! They fit right in my wardrobe :)

I am teaching classes for both of these patterns at The Sewcial Lounge here in Madison next month! The Tova class is Saturday, September 8th at 9am, and the Tank class is Wednesday, September 12th at 5:30pm.  Go here to sign up!
