What will the world look like in 20 or 30 years? Will peo­ple con­tin­ue to wear dis­pos­able cloth­ing? (The aver­age life span of a gar­ment is 3 years.) Will fast fash­ion com­pa­nies exist? Will the fash­ion indus­try con­tin­ue to be the #2 pol­luter in the world? These are the ques­tions being asked in the fash­ion indus­try right now. Not only are fash­ion com­pa­nies wast­ing mil­lions of pounds of unsold gar­ments...

A Day in the Life of a Dress­mak­er and Fash­ion Designer Have you ever won­dered what’s behind the vision and con­struc­tion of a beau­ti­ful dress? Hours and hours of labor? Yes. Cre­ative vision? Absolute­ly, but this cre­ativ­i­ty must also be firm­ly ground­ed in basics of tex­tiles and con­struc­tion tech­nique. This is why I am not just a fash­ion design­er. What I see in my head I know how to make...

It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping. And right down the street, in a shop...

Burdastyle Wool Navy High Neck Cape with Gold Irish Buttons
Marusya
Handmade Anagrassia long Navy Wool Tailored Cape Coat Jacket with high collar and gold irish buttons. Notre dame football tailgates. Burdastyle sewing pattern.

Here is anoth­er adult cape I made this season. This cape was made with 100% wool and gold Irish buttons. I used Bur­dastyle’s 9/2015 #115 sewing pattern. The only change I made to the pat­tern were the place­ments of buttons/buttonholes. I also hand-stitched all the edges/hems of the cloak, instead of adding piping/bias tape trim. This cape is very warm and per­fect for Notre Dame foot­ball tail­gates & games in the fall!...

Tan Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape with Lapels & Collar
Marusya
Handmade Anagrassia Tan Camel Beige Champagne Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Coat Jacket with beautiful English Rayon. Created with pockets, lapels, slit & collar

This fall & hol­i­day was the sea­son of capes! I made lots of them!  (I will post more pho­tos of capes on the blog soon.) Here is one of the adults capes, which I made for my sis­ter. She chose the Bur­dastyle pat­tern (8/2014 #124) and tan (almost cham­pagne) wool cashmere. It’s a tai­lored cape, so I used bespoke tai­lor­ing tech­niques for the lapels. The com­bi­na­tion of soft, thick, and (some­what)...
