Sewing with Susan Khalje and Kenneth King
 
 Hello: I received an e-mail from Kenneth King site announcing an upcoming class in April to sew for 4 days with Susan and Kenneth. The class seems to be focus on each sewer's individual need. I will like to attend, since its going to be in New York City, it will be an easy commute for me.
Will keep you posted.
 
Also, i have been following Cidell's progress on her beautiful gown, she is doing a terrifc job.
 
Last September i started working on a vogue pants fitting pattern. It was a disaster. I will post photos later this week
 
I signed up for a pattern drafting class at the community college and i started class in October. Since then i learned to draft all kind of skirts and i would not be buying any more skirt patterns from this point on.
 
I am now learning to draft a simple top that will become the basis for all kind of tops, blouses and jacket. I am not doing very well, i need to work more on it. Will post pictures later.
 
Last but not lease i have been reading several sewing blogs. These sewers are working on the channel jacket. I bought a beautiful tweed fabric, i don't know if it will work. I am not ready to take on the challenge of making a channel jacket at this time. Maybe in the future.

Weekend in New York with Pattern Review
 
Hello: what a blast we had in New York last weekend. I met so many of the wonderful ladies from Pattern Review. It was an honor to meet Deepika the master mind behind Pattern Review.
 
I also met one of my favorite blogers Ms Cidell from Ms Celie's Pants, Ryan's Mom and it was a pleasure to meet Niki. I met 2 ladies that live in Brooklyn, NY and we had a blast. Here some of the photos from the weekend. I hope to meet Diary of a sewing fanatic one day.
 
Here are photos of the weekend:

Shopping & organizing
Hello: Well i am still working on organizing my binders and magazines articles. I bought fabrics today and last Tuesday. I just could not resist. Today i bought a very graphic black and white fabric. I saw a dress in a boutique last weekend. The dress was made out of a graphic black and white fabric, absolutely beautifull. So hopefully i will be able to start sewing soon.
I also bought two sewing cd's from pattern review on Tuesday. I cannot remember the names, i will let you know when the cd arrive. That's all for now.
