We Have a Winning Cutwork Vest

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Whoo Hooo!

Janice Lowe from Australia had so much fun making one of our cutwork-applique vest, that her imagination took off. I happen to consider that the ultimate in compliments.

Her creative endeavors became a three-piece outfit (pants, shirt, and vest) that she entered in the Nabiac show.

She won! Not just one award, but two: Champion and Supreme Champion. I feel like a proud mom over here. Way to go Jan - we’re cheering you on from this side of the pond.

Below are the pictures Jan sent. Thank you again Jan for sharing with us your wonderful creation and congratulations on an incredible outfit.

Drapery Details and a Pleater Board

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

A while back I had several excellent conversations with Cathy Gallagher of Housedressings - Fashions for Your Home.

She was very interested in our Pleat N Go, and had a bunch of questions as to whether or not it would work for her, with her drapery and home decor custom sewing. Well to make a very long story short, here are her words and a few pictures.

“You had asked me to send pictures of my finished project using the pleater board. I made 440″ of pleated edging for the valances in this room. It was the most wonderful detail I have ever used! I hope you like it - I enjoyed your product so much and plan to offer this custom detail to many customers!”

A full view of the large window and drapery - the pleats are on the  very top.

A view of the large, triple window with the new draperies.

 

A closer view of the top header section of the drapes; the very top is pleated

The top of the drapes and topper - again you can see the very top is pleated.

 

A really nice close up of the pleated top and corded edge of the draperies.

A great close-up shot of the pleats at the very top and the corded edge.

Terrific results and Cathy is happy! That was a lot of pleating and she discovered an easy way to do it. You can sew for me anytime Cathy :)
