Last Saturday, Radio National's By Design program broadcast a recent interview where I talked about sewing and patterns. They also put together this video which accompanied the radio story and website. As part of the interview, I worked with Diane Dean who compiled this great article about the history of patterns. It also includes a section on how to work with digital pattern files and includes links to our Mandy Boat Tee and new Libby A-Line Skirt Pattern.
Big thanks to the By Design team for allowing me to talk on and on (there was a lot edited out) about my passion!
Great interview Colette, and your mum is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Evelyne, she's a funny one!
DeleteAnd I heard the repeat again today- didn't realize it was you :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The video is fabulous. You are both such stars. Tessuti forever!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous interview. I really enjoyed watching it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really interesting interview and accompanying article - it's reallly great that sewing is becoming so mainstream after many years of being a home hobby
ReplyDeleteThat was a great interview. I enjoyed the history bits the most.
ReplyDeleteI loved the interview - By Design is my favourite show on RN. And the video is great too!
ReplyDeleteHi Colette, I love the magic mushrooms top you're wearing. Was it made using a Tessuti pattern? Antonia
ReplyDeleteThanks Antonia,
DeleteYes, I made up our mushroom print silk crepe de chine in our Gabby Dress pattern. I cut to the shorter length in the print and then there's a panel of plain black crepe de chine at the bottom hem to finish at the longer length ( as per pattern).
Ah I see now, thank you. Just gorgeous. I may have to have to draw inspiration from that idea … Antonia.
