The breath-taking beauty of the fall colours brings the excitement of fall harvest, the clean up of summer gardens and the preparations for the chilly days ahead.
The Royal Winter Fair is a favorite annual adventure for our family ... so much to see and do ... we especially enjoy the heavy draft horses.
From a sewing/designing point of view, I find the fall a time of new growth and development - a left over excitement from September's 'back to class' regime. Research is a year-round project for me - it seems there's always something to investigate and learn more about - whether it's fabrics, designs or machinery.
I always seem to be exploring fashion/design lines for the 'larger size 5 gals' ... looking for the missing items that industry doesn't manage to fulfill.
This year at the Royal Winter Fair, I'm going to take a close look at what seems to need tweaking in the equestrian arena of riding clothing - too often the sizes just don't seem to meet the requirements of our Canadian gals! So, if you or someone you know has a desire for better fitting riding breeches or jackets, please leave a note and let me know what you find most lacking and I'll incorporate all the ideas to improve what is available in the clothing for a more comfortable ride.
With Christmas coming, there will also be a new nightgown/nightshirt design to add to your wish list ... soft - cottony - and snugly warm! Request a preview of this year's design - orders will be taken from Nov 15 to Dec 10th ...
In the meantime, stock up on herbal teas, hot chocolate and your favourite cookies/biscuits - it won't be long before it's time to relax by the fireplace and enjoy the moment!
