Another week, another round-up.
1. Have you heard of 'Fashion Camp'? It's a business in Orange County, CA offering sewing/fashion classes, workshops, and private events to kids and adults (although I think it's primarily geared towards kids). I think it's funny that I learned about this business through an article in 'Inc' magazine. According to the article I read, the owner is trying to decide whether to expand to Los Angeles or San Diego. It's an interesting business concept. Instead of a store that focuses on fabric, notions, and patterns with classes and events, Fashion Camp is strictly focused on the teaching part. {Fashion Camp // Inc Magazine}
2. I came across this tutorial for inserting in-seam pockets with french seams at just the right moment. The pockets in the photo above are the ones I'm using in my shirt dress for the Cat Lady Sewing Challenge; I definitely wanted to enclose those raw edges. {Deborah Moebes on Sew Mama Sew}
3. Dressing in only color. Seems like it would be easy, especially if you pick black or grey. But after reading about 5 different people who each dress in only one color, it actually seems like a lot of work. From keeping whites white, sourcing the correct color blue or green, not attending events because the required attire doesn't fit your color palette....woah, these people are dedicated to their wardrobes. {NY Mag}
4. I discovered another 'new-to-me' sewing blog with a very lovely aesthetic. Her post about the Colette Albion has given me hope that I can eventually make it. I'll dust off that muslin one of these days. {Evolution of a Sewing Goddess}
5. I've always wondered how people add a custom "signature" to their blog posts. {I Can Build a Blog}
