The wait is over, at least for me…
Last fall I was asked by Sew News Magazine to write an article on finishing the inside of an unlined jacket. I distinctly remember the panic that ensued, because as with all things in publishing, there is a deadline which was seriously interrupted by a certain tropical something or other called Sandy that wiped out the east coast in three states and left us without power for ten days. Hard to build a garment and set of samples and step by step photos and then process and write an article with no power. I’m sure a hand written draft would have annoyed just a few people.
I managed to get the draft in by the deadline, and then heard nothing. In March I got a check for the article, and then heard nothing. I’m so use to a million edits and back and forths between the editors and me, that I had half assumed they didn’t like the article and were not going to publish it. So it was with great delight that they not only published it, but they used all of the samples and step by step tutorials I wrote and I’m pretty proud of this article. It spans six pages.
And the title is cute. “Inner Beauty”
So if you are interested in the inside finishing of an unlined jacket, run to your nearest magazine seller and pick up the current issue of Sew News Magazine, August/ September 2013. Look at page 40!
Stay tuned…
good for you. i am heading to get the magazine.
yes, i too will get this and i really enjoyed the last post from sievers. love the slicing and dicing of the foam ‘body’ 🙂 why not?
Great! You are a great teacher…by example, by face to face instruction, and in print!!!!
Awesome! So glad you’re getting the ‘press’ you so richly deserve. Loved the Sievers article and all the photos of the garments that were designed and constructed.
Hi Darryl, thank you so much that you don’t teach rigid heddle, as I live in South Africa with at the moment R9 – $1 I can understand why people turn to rigid heddles, they are cheaper, but I really don’t like to weave on them. I have 5 8 shaft looms, 2 inkle frames and a Joy spinning wheel, which occupy me nicely, thank you very much.
Keep well
