Marlene Ingraham, Founder of Original Sewing & Quilt Expo, is continuing her series of interviews with various faculty members and sewing personalities for The Maker. Etimologia del termine. La parola italiana libro deriva dal latino liber. Il vocabolo originariamente significava anche "corteccia", ma visto che era un materiale.
The Maker's Experience . I have been producing patterns since 1. Plus, I live in a town with limited clothing stores, and I don’t fit in most clothes on the racks in the stores anyway. MI: Oh my, does ANYONE?

Here’s what interests me today, and I quote from your website: “She (Linda) loves to investigate the engineering of garment sewing — thus the geometry of the patterns. And she likes to watch the transformation of her students’ views of themselves as she works with them to create wearable wardrobes that complement how they want to express themselves.”I’d like to explore these two thoughts with you today. I love interesting architectural shapes in garments.
I’ve sewn enough “two fronts, a back and two sleeve” garments in my lifetime. Now I am interested in sewing pieces that are more like a puzzle – angles, asymmetry, surprise details. Follow the directions and magic happens. And that magic transforms how I feel about myself and am portrayed in this world. I like for people to ask if I have made my outfit.
I assume they are asking because whatever I have on is unique, made in an interesting fabric and fits me well. MI: That’s a very safe assumption – I’ve always been impressed by the expert finishing and small details – artful and precise, without being stuck up about it.
In order to bring that to my garment style, I am constantly perusing home decorating magazines and online interior sources plus fashion resources as well. I want my pattern collection to be fresh and on trend. MI: We are not all born with or have taken the time to develop a strong personal design sense, and it’s hard to see ourselves as other see us, too. I have actually had students tell me that a workshop has “changed their lives” and definitely given them the confidence to step out of their normal sewing box and sew on great fabric using patterns that are for real people. MI: What are your favorite features of the knit garment patterns you chose for the retreat? First, I want my students to experience sewing on different weights and types of knit, from tissue weight to sweater knits. I insist on using the very best quality designer knits in order to get really good results.
Then I want to ingrain the idea that knits don’t have to be intimidating. We wear knits almost every day. It’s time to hone our skills and sew what we really want to wear. MI: Oh, gosh, I love that idea!
The variations are endless. And the pants, well, no doubt they are the most versatile and wearable pants with today’s tops and tunics, and everyone who has made them is in love with them and has made more than one pair. MI: I’ve been backstage dressing models during your fashion show at the Expo, and am always amazed by how very lovely – that’s the word I want to use, lovely – your garments are. Every woman of any size or figure type deserves to look amazing. Every year I have to re- evaluate what looks good on me and my customers. I am of the age that if something feels good and looks good on me, then most likely it will work on a lot of people.
While I don’t have to have the very latest design craze, there are definitely silhouettes of the time that I want to have represented in the pattern line. So. I hope to see everyone who sews in a workshop or lecture somewhere along the way.
