Coming in October! I just got my information email with a link to the Seminar Schedule. It will be here before I know it! The LA International Textiles Show is a twice yearly show for the 'Trade' (businesses that work with fabric). It is held in the California mart Building, in downtown LA. There is a wonderful book store there (feeds FIDM, Parsons, and LA Trade Tech students, as well as the 'trade') and they have a great sale during the show.
One of the 'trends' that is hot right now is chevrons (hmm... can anyone say smocking stitch?!). Here are a few examples of chevron fabrics.
Here is a picture from Moda Artisans, showing their embroidered couture fabrics. I can't wait to see all of the fabric. Even better, it is not just eye candy, but finger candy too, as you get to touch and feel the samples!
I make a point to see Fabric Finders and Riley Blake, as well as Henry Glass, Michael Miller, and Robert Kauffman booths. Definately overload. I will just be back from the SAGA convention, and at the end of the week is ETAC in Orange County. I know September is National Sewing Month, but for me, October is my Sewing Month!!!
Fall/Winter 2012-13 are the focus, although there will be some seminars that will talk about forecasts for '14.
I will take pictures and share everything with you!
Happy Stitching,
Vaune
I have people coming in asking for chevron print almost everyday. I work at Hancock Fabrics. So, yep it's hot right now.
ReplyDeleteI know that Riley Blake has some cute chevron prints!
