Man, the titles are hard to come up with and I’m sure you get sick of (as much as I’m tired of writing) “clothing update.” Well, woohoo, I have a reason for a fun title. I’m heading to Chicago Sunday to visit the cut and sew manufacturer on Monday morning. I’ll be meeting my pattern maker there who is essentially overseeing production and quality for me as she’s located there in Chicago and works well with the manufacturer. I’m looking forward to the visit. Gloria moved her shop since I visited (and I don’t blame her, it was the middle of winter and she had no heat!). I haven’t seen the new facility but it sounds like a much better place for her and her staff. I’m planning on taking pictures of Gloria and Jeanne (my patternmaker) and of the production process to post on the site.

It will be a quick trip there and back, but I’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with a great friend of mine from business school and his wife who now live in Chicago. I’m looking forward to catching up with them and seeing them in their element! They always were big city people kind of trapped in a much more suburban milieu (I always wanted to use that word!) here in Ypsilanti.

I’ll post again soon!…no really!
