The Perfect Summer Pants
It's sandal season and that means that I need summer pants that are cool and comfy. My favorite pant pattern to crop is the Elle Pant. It's just the right leg width for wearing either a little shorter or a whole lot shorter. To make it easier, I eliminate the diagonal pocket detail and just make a simple pant, pocketless. Linen is the best for the Kansas summer humidity. I wash it first so it's nice and rumpled and then rarely iron the pants ever again.

4 Women of Design Retreat
I have hooked up with three other designers, Bobbi Bullard, Stephanie Kimura and Rosemary Eichorn, and we are hosting a sewing retreat in Sacramento, CA November 10-13, 2006. Each of us is presenting a trunk show on Friday, then you can chose from any of several classes given by each of us for the next three days. Local artists and designers are coming in to present their work, and I am running an optional designer shopping tour to San Francisco on the last day. So it's jam-packed with creative opportunities and fun.
You can see the entire schedule on this web site under On the Road, or call me for more information. I hope to see you there.
Linda
