HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Register for Winter Classes Now!
Hello fellow patternmaking and sewing enthusiasts,
The holidays are upon us. However you celebrate, I hope you have a JOYOUS season!
Thank you for your support of Apparel Arts in 2024. I thoroughly enjoyed coming back to teaching after my 2023 sabbatical and I look forward to bringing you more classes in 2025.
Exciting news! Building Patterns will be getting a new life under a different publisher in late 2025. I can’t say too much at this time, but I will keep you posted as we get further into the new year. With that said, I will no longer be selling Building Patterns after December 31, 2024, so they can work their magic. Spread the word to your sewing circle! Now is the time to purchase the Building Patterns ebook on the AAP website.
Looking forward to seeing you in class!
Suzy
