We’ve arrived in Tombstone for Helldorado Days and now it’s time to get the house in order after all the renovation that’s been going on…

Angus is checking everything out…he’s not too crazy about the mess…

Things were in a bit of a disarray in the front room (formerly the bedroom) but the plan is to restore it to its original purpose as a parlor, complete with a few working sewing machines- yes, it’s meant to be a functional room. 🙂 And here’s a progress picture:

Making progress in the parlor…

And of course, Angus has already chosen his new resting place…

Fabrics for Tombstone1

Leaving for our little Victorian house in Tombstone in the morning for a few days, so I can make new draperies and for the new parlor and bedroom…because what do most designers do on vacation? Oh yeah…sew. 🙂

It’s October and that means Helldorado Days in Tombstone! This year, Helldorado is scheduled on October 19 through October 21, 2018 and the high point of the event is the parade to he held on Sunday October 21. First started in 1928 to publicize the town, Helldorado is held on the third Sunday of October and commemorates the town’s early years and especially that 30-second gunfight that took place somewhere close by to the OK Corral. We’ll be meeting with clients and otherwise working on some projects and having a little fun. See you there! 🙂

 

Colors For 2018…

Color is an essential part of any garment and one of the first things designers do is create a color palette. The palette can be based on things that inspire the designer such as the seasons, a particular location, or even a specific feeling. In today’s fashion world, designers often rely on trend prediction services to attempt to understand what the market is going to favor and this is especially true when it comes to colors (eve wonder why it seems that everything from cars and appliances to clothing seem to come in certain specific colors?). Just for fun, below are the “official” colors for Spring 2018, as interpreted by Pantone:

Don’t be surprised if there are a few of these in our designs… 🙂
