Besides running a small alterations business I’m learning to draft my own flat block patterns with 23 years of vintage pattern experience. Check out my ups and downs in learning a new craft.

Updates on, Our Declutter Challenge, my 2024 Goal, A Make Frosting Challenge and The Dayton Garment Designers Meet Up swaps and info. Oh yeah, and that crazy fabric I frivolously ordered.

Learning a new medium, block printing, new fabric lines, Dayton Garment Designers Meet Up, new challenges, fabric swaps and the Kettering Arts Council.

How to make your elastic last, change it out and what to watch out for.

This is a craft with many revisions and rewards. Nothing is ever perfect the first go round.

I feel I learn best from others. Thank you Sarah Jo

Patches can be much faster and easier.
