So, I’m off to college ! This summer has zoomed by with alarming speed, and the next chapter of my life is about to begin. Wanna bet I’m one of the only freshman who rolls onto campus with a sewing machine? Maybe not. Sewing is hip again, and as my mom always says, “Stop shopping and start sewing!”

I just uploaded my hand-drawn pattern for the Every Body Bodice that I “Frankensteined” out of three different patterns, including a vintage one from the 60s! You can watch how I designed and made it on my mom’s show on TV or online.
If you make a garment using the “Every Body Bodice,” please let me know how it goes. Remember, you can use ANY skirt length, or even be daring and make a little jumper-style shorts set – very “I Love Lucy!” If you have any formal gigs coming up, a wedding, a bar mitzvah, a formal dance (sorority rush?), the “Every Body Bodice” is a great place to start. It really looks great on every body!
I can’t wait to see if all the scenes I know and love from classic college movies are true at all. As a side note, RIP John Hughes – he truly shaped millions of moviegoers’ experience of their teen years, and he will be sorely missed. My prediction – a lot of modern day John Hughes homage movies will be hitting the theatres by next summer! I can’t wait to meet the new “Brat Pack.” Any predictions who’ll be in it – Jonah Hill? Michael Cera? Ellen Page? Miranda Cosgrove? Grace Samson?! Start writing those screenplays!

I’d love to see a real picture of the bodice – is it posted elsewhere?
