I’m back from SPESA Expo and Material World. Did you miss me? Did you use the time productively to catch up on some older entries? You don’t know how close I was to assigning homework for you to read while I was gone but I thought, no, give them a little vacation and some breathing room. Not to fret, I’ll be making up for lost time next week. Heh.
I’m a crispy critter right now, not heat-wise, just all peopled-out. It was comparatively small as far as trade shows go, well, compared to how Bobbin used to be. I got some good leads, poked around at some machines but was not particularly thrilled with the fabric choices. Everything was all knits, what’s up with that? Vesta and I kept chorusing, Knits Are Evil and then laughing and of course everyone thought we were crazy.
So, what did you do while I was gone? Anything productive? Learn anything new? I want to know everything.
Well, I certainly missed you! And what’s happening. I MADE MY FIRST SALE! And now getting ready to go to market in October. Finally…it’s been a long road, but I’m getting there.
Glad to have you back! Can’t wait to hear all about the show!
YES we did miss you. YES I did catch up with old entries. I’ve been retouching (one more time) my line and going nuts with my style numbers. Kathleen, if you have a little time, can you tell me how I should go about with that? I mean, I only make swimsuits, so I don’t have different types of garment to assign the first number to. At first I was assigning the first digit for the “cut” of the suit, the second for color and third for prints but that won’t work and I want to show the colors in the swatch card instead of having them included in the style number, based on the recommendations of the posts I found here.
So if you find some time there’s some homework for you instead, but after catching up with all the posts, you can give me a popquiz anytime!!!
Hm, well I started making this wedding dress for my bff… and Toronto fashion bloggers are getting invited to this quasi-fashion week so I’m looking forward to some chaos =D
I’m more interested in what you were up to…
Yes, we missed you. I showed my husband the cotton gin article and he thought it was pretty cool, especially the thing that burns the plant waste in the field. (He’s a computer programmer but is WAY into science.)
