This episode was inspired by a message Mallory and Zede received from a lovely Canadian listener, Fred B. Fred asked their advice/help on creating a stitch catalog that she can reference. Mal and Zede suggest keeping a notebook, binder, or some type of organized system with detailed notes and fabric samples. These samples can be looks based or technique based. It’s a great idea to stitch out your machines decorative stitches, this is the best way to see how big, dense and how they sequentially stitch out. Zede and Mallory suggest using a sample system that allows you to add and subtract from it easily which is especially important when testing stitch techniques. They both agree the best way to add these types of stitch samples is when you are actively using them in a project.
How do you organize your stitch samples?

THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THE EASY T CLASS
The Easy T Class is the first online sewing class from SewHere.com.
We’re excited to offer an introductory course on pattern drafting, because we know that one of the biggest obstacles in sewing your own clothes is getting the right fit. Instead of downloading a pattern, taping it together, and then cutting it apart again to try and get a perfect fit, try taking your own measurements and drafting this simple top.
The Easy T is a semi-fitted, short-sleeved shirt made from a lightweight, woven fabric. While the possibilities for customization are endless, we recommend sticking to the basics for your first custom pattern.
One student says, “I ve purchased many (20+) online classes from Craftsy, Creative Live and others. Your Easy T videos are some of the best I ve seen. I love that you created many concise, easy to understand segments. Breaking the steps down in separate short sections makes it easy to follow and review things.”
