Even though this blog does not focus on my fine sewing and pattern drafting skills, you should know that I do have them. But I really owe that all to Nora Carria, who broke me in. She would throw projects my way and say "I've never done something like this: you figure it out". I did figure some things out, but she was there, when this little sparrow was flapping her wings over a puff sleeve, or a gusset in a crotch, and multiple other pattern drafting dilemmas. She is a fantastic custom clothier and a genius when it comes to flat patternmaking and draping. I was lucky enough to have her as a mentor and I completed my internship with her this summer. She is one of Seattle's best secrets, but I have no intention of keeping it that way.
Contact Nora Carria and ask her to show you the link to her work.
By the way, she came up with the shape of the hat in many of these projects.
