How to fold a fat quarter

(photo from http://kootoyoo.blogspot.com)

This is such a great tutorial on how to fold a fat quarter (a 1/4 yard of cut fabric, but cut as 1/2 of a half yard of fabric. Usually measuring about 18"x22", hence a "fat" quarter, as opposed to a regular 1/4 yard, 9"x by 45") that I felt it really needed to be shared. Enjoy! This looks like a great blog!

Up-close Couture

Here is a great short video of a couture runway design being created in the Chanel and Lasage ateliers (workrooms). The video shows some of the process of draping on a form at Chanel, and the process of creating a custom tambour beading at Lasage, then ends with the finished design on the runway. Be sure to enlarge the video so it fills your screen! Enjoy!
