Spring doesn't always follow the same script in the desert...

Our pallete of colors can be reduced to earthen tones. The little flowers that would normally be overlooked during a rainier season are a cherished delight. We put our sights on potential Monsoon foilage and are grateful for the trees that have chosen to green up anyways.

Instead of worrying about something I have no control over, like the weather and the international situation, I had the AC unit cleaned and prepped. I've freshened up the portable swamp cooler. I've brought in a couple of extra fans.

Let's get ready for a summer of flow!

I'm pulling together a summer full of workshops that not only educate but also entertain.

Give yourself a good reason to be inside sewing something amazing this summer!

Maybe you have a dressform and don't know what to do with it? Maybe you don't have a dress form but believe that having one would change your sewing game?

Or perhaps you have other reasons for exploring the art of draping fabric on a dress form... This summer you have the unique opportunity to learn the skill of draping with a master of the art, beginning with the 8 week Introduction to Draping workshop.

Who is Jean Lamprell? Click on her picture and it will take you to her bio. She has recently moved to Tucson with her husband Brian and would like nothing more than to share her seasons of costuming adventures across the globe with with you!

We are preparing to host a series of draping workshops starting with "Introduction to Draping" Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the mystery of the dress form, draping and maybe even the tutu?

Keep on Sewing!
