So, I’m sitting at the laptop, 20 minutes into naptime. And our three-year-old appears, holding her woobie: Pink Blankie. Not the most creative name, but there it is. Except, I look closer at Pink Blankie (PB for short) and…
Over at MADE and Made by Rae, it’s Celebrate the Boy Month all February long! When I designed children’s clothing, I thought I knew about boys; it wasn’t until I HAD a boy that I realized how little I…
I got a comment the other day on the Wonderland post asking about charm packs for this yummy collection–they’ve re-released the 13 most popular prints, and a customer is searching for more charms. The sad news is, there aren’t…
Remember the 2010 Sewing Goal Setting a bunch of you signed up for? It’s time (now that the health of the blog has been restored and the new design is well underway) to really tackle that task. January is…
I am a little dizzy at how quickly January has gone by–so much is going on here at Whipstitch that I feel as though the days are racing past at an alarming rate… As always at the end of…
One of the most delicious collections out in 2009 was Wonderland, by Japanese designer Momo, for Moda. I adored this collection, from top to bottom, and have made a whole mess of projects from it (which I’ll share here…
Whoopee! My husband recommended his favorite blog repair genius to go through the scripts inside the bowels of my blog and discover the errors–this is the same miracle worker who rescued my husband’s blog from oblivion when it up-and-vanished…
The blog has Swine Flu, I’m pretty sure. We’ve got it under observation in the ICU and are doing all we can, but currently, my capability to publish images and approve comments is severely hampered. Please bear with me…
January is always such a busy time: full of new starts and new calendars and new beginnings. We’ve historically had high enrollment in our sewing classes in January, but this year has been even busier than usual! Our Tuesday…
I’ve spent most of my first day of this year planning and emailing and making lists and basically preparing to meet the New Year in some form of order. It’s made me think of all the plans I’ve made…
We’re adding inventory and moving things around over here, which means lots of long hours in front of the computer, crunching numbers. While we’re busy doing our books and looking at the bottom line, you do the same! Why…
When the Great Flood of 2009 came through last Sept, one of the storage bins hardest hit was holding our Christmas things. I’m grateful that my husband’s vintage, 1950s artificial tree he inherited from his grandparents survived, as did…
Hope you all had an amazing holiday season! We’re still working to get back in the swing of things over here, and to stay on top of all our Big Plans for 2010. In the meantime, it’s not too…
Me: I think after the New Year, I’m going to start running again. You know, like train for a 5k or something. Him: (snort) (snicker) (cough) Me: Um, why is that funny, exactly? Him: Well, honey, I mean, no…
I’m reading a seriously geeky-cool book right now: It’s written by an archaeologist from BU and focuses on the archaeological remains of sewing found in historical sites around the world. I’m fascinated by all of it, in the most…
