Happy Valentine’s Day, Designers! They say do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Well, we know that’s not entirely true—designing is hard work! It involves precision, patience, and sometimes, a seam ripper. But today, on a day dedicated to love, we are kicking off a 14-day journey dedicated to the love of the craft. Welcome to the Krewe of Designers brand new course! Over the next two weeks, we aren’t just making a garment; we are diving deep into the "why" behind the "how." We are moving beyond just following instructions and stepping into the mindset of a true designer. I, Leah B., am thrilled to be your guide as we take a static pattern and breathe life into it. 🗺️ Your 14-Day Roadmap We’ve structured this course just like professional design development. Here is a sneak peek at the journey ahead: Phase 1: The Foundation (Days 1-4): We’ll handle the business side (IP & Rights), gather our tools, and select the perfect "canvas" (fabric). Phase 2: The Blueprint (Days 5-7): We dive into the technical side—the cut list and the art of drafting. Phase 3: The Build (Days 8-11): The main event. Step-by-step assembly with exclusive Pro Tips from the atelier. Phase 4: The Heart (Days 12-14): The inspiration story, the grand reveal of your work, and looking ahead to the next design. 🧵 Your First Assignment We are a Krewe—a community that supports each other’s growth. Let’s get the energy flowing in the comments below. Introduce yourself and tell us: What is the one part of the design process you absolutely LOVE? (Is it picking the fabric? The first cut? The final press?) Let the journey begin! — Leah B.

Due circumstances beyond my control, the community was down. We're back online Krewe!

Feel free to look around, take a course or two, or ask questions. I'm in the studio working on more designs, patterns, and courses. I'll check in again soon!

Feel free to ask questions and take a few courses!
