Chat with me Sunday on Pattern Review!

Lovely readers, I think this is going to be really fun. This Sunday evening (8 PM Eastern Time, 5 Pacific, 6 Mountain, 7 Central) I am doing a live chat on Pattern Review. If you’ve never done one of these chats, they’re basically a live moderated discussion where you have a chance to “ask the experts.” Other wonderful people from the sewing world have been featured such as Amy Butler, Connie Crawford, and more.

I’d love to talk with you guys and answer any questions you have. We could talk about my creative process, running a small business, or how I draft my patterns.

AND, if you’re interested, I’ll even talk a little about the two new patterns I’m releasing in May… shhhh.

Normally, these chats are open only to Friends of PR, but Deepika has graciously allowed me to share the password for the chat, which is colette (all lowercase). Here is the press release about it.

How to join the chat:

On Sunday evening, go to the following url to join the chat:

You will need to be a member of Pattern Review if you’re not already, but joining is free. Then join the following room, using the password:

Room: expert chat
Password: colette

Hope to talk to you guys soon!

Update: Here is the chat transcript: http://sewing.patternreview.com/chat/colette

I’ve just stopped by to tell you that dress is GORGEOUS! Hopefully, one of the future patterns you’re publishing is for that dress. It is amazing.

Um, I think that’s an Anthropologie dress, but it is beautiful just the same!

Yep, the dress was a birthday gift a few years ago, and it is from Anthropologie

Hi, Missed the chat but read the transcript. I can’t wait for the new patterns (although I still have the Chantilly and Eclair to make up.) I am especially interested in the “dainties”, as there are so few options for vintage-inspired underthings. When will these come out?
Also love your dress in the photo. I was hoping that that was one of the new patterns!
