“A little challenge goes a long way when you want to take your sewing up a notch.” This is the opening sentence of the description for a new class I am teaching at the Original Sewing & Quilt Expos (OSQE) this spring. It also captures my philosophy of sewing. I…
Occasionally a prospective customer comments that she doesn’t like the “boxy” style of the Tabula Rasa Jacket. The TRJ pattern was deliberately designed with fairly straight seams to make the pattern an easy “blank slate” for wearable art, and to keep construction simple. If you would prefer a curvier fit…

We send our best wishes for a productive and fulfilling year in 2016! With the new year just around the corner, we’ve been looking back at Fit for Art in 2015 and making plans for 2016. It is rewarding to realize that we really did accomplish much, although it did…

Rae Cumbie is not one to toot her own horn, so in this post I am going to share the terrific articles and teaching videos Rae has produced and published in the past year or so. I know you will want to check some of these out, if you haven’t…
We are pleased to announce that we are giving the Tabula Rasa Jacket a bright new face! It was time to print more TRJ Instruction books, so we decided to put new art on the cover that is more consistent with the TRJ Variation covers. Many thanks to our excellent…
