Stay Tuned...

I'm pretty sure t here is something I should be creating right now - but I choose after a day in the fabric district to relax before I create a one of a kind for a friend of mine. Maybe this little number will make the "Sassy" Collection - ??? - Stay tuned...

Over Compensation

That's what happened today in my sewing -- I overcompensated for a cutting and measuring mistake.  Here's what I learned from that lesson, if you don't like how something is turning out - pitch it in the garbage or use it for scrap, but move on because there's not much fabric in lingerie to begin with, so unless you're making string bikinis with only the string, it's best to start over, and not waste stitches.  Next time things should go better.

SOAP and FABRIC

This morning was spent researching (thank you God for the internet and google) how to make washing detergents.  Thinking that maybe L'AMORE INTIMO needs it's own mild soap to use for the delicate hand washings.  It was very interesting and seems to be a lot of trial and error when it comes to making detergents.  Maybe it would be better not to manufacture my own but to choose a gentle detergent to put my label on, or even recommend a detergent.  Ideas?

This afternoon was spent brainstorming design ideas.  I need a day in a huge fabric mart or just downtown in the garment district.  I'm looking for fabric that's delicate but durable, and speaks L'AMORE.  So you'll know, I'm in the market for stretch lace, nylon, chiffon, linen, spandex, and all other fabrics for sensual lingerie.

The day was productive.
