Archives Made By Rae. This is the third in a series of posts detailing the outfits I made using Cotton and Steel fabrics for Stylo Magazine last fall see the previous posts here and here. This outfit features a Geranium Dress made with a cotton from Rashida Coleman Hales new Mochi line, the Moon Pants made with Bespoke double gauze previously seen in this post, and a gold pom pom headband. Both Mochi and Bespoke are Cotton and Steel lines currently available in fabric shops. For me to even consider doing such a large project within the first year of having a baby, I knew I would need to do a significant amount of planning. So Id like to talk about what it takes to get a project like this off the ground. If I didnt know anything about the project I might have guessed that the photoshoot itself probably took the most work, but I personally think the shoot is the easiest and most fun part. Its the planning that can really kill ya, in my opinion. Perhaps it will surprise you to know that this project began last summer or maybe not. Heres a brief timeline for the project June Discuss with Stylo possible contribution to Fall issue. July Correspond with Cotton and Steel to ask about possible collaboration.

September Fabric arrives, commence actual SEWING six garments, three headbands, photo shoot, Edit photos, deliver photos to Stylo. November 3 Stylo Issue 3 release. I decided to do the spread because I knew it would be a great way to promote my childrens sewing patterns in a highly visual way, while at the same time producing a cohesive set of clothing samples that could then be used later to promote the patterns in other ways. I love the way that a magazine, digital or print, can really produce a stunning visual presentation, and Jess and Celina do it really well with Stylo.

My next thought was Cotton and Steel, because theyve made an attempt to create cohesive collections that are printed not just on quilting fabrics, but on other garment friendly fabrics as well, making it easy to create outfits for children that coordinate a pair of canvas pants worn with a cotton gauze shirt, for instance. That is something Im pretty sure is unique to Cotton and Steel, by the way no other company that I know of does that, though most fabric companies do offer unique lines on their various substrates.

I initially asked Melody Miller, the founding designer of Cotton and Steel, about using their Spring 2. Fall fabrics so she suggested that I might like to try those instead, which were to include one of my very favorite fabrics, DOUBLE GAUZE EEK. It was definitely hard to keep the whole thing on the hush hush until the fabrics debuted at Fall Quilt Market. Another bonus because the deadline for the magazine was nearly a month before Quilt Market, the samples could also be used for the Cotton and Steel booth. One more thing I did very little of the sewing for this project. Karen and my assistant Tashina did most of it. I did some of the cutting that double gauze can be tricky and I did some of the sewing and all of the hand stitching for the Charlie Tunic see this post, but mostly I just hovered at the studio with a baby on my hip. Anyway, the dress is Clementines favorite of all of the things we made for this project she even wore it for school picture day and it would have shown up in the photo if she had taken off the sweater she wore over it facepalm. I also want to highlight a couple of the other accessories because she really enjoyed those as well the gold tattoos were designed by Rifle Paper company for Tattly, and the sparkly TOMS I found at Bivouac in downtown Ann Arbor by my studio. Both were instant hits with my girl who is pretty fond of sparkly things. Follow These People on Twitter to Help You Understand the TrumpRussia Connection. Its a lot, right Its a lot. It is a firehose of news. How are we supposed to live our lives, cook a meal, uncrimp our hunched over necksEven when I shut my computer, it still flashes its little light in the corner, ready to alert me to the horrors of the world like some kind of pulsing Hellmouth. But one doesnt want to be uninformed So here is my solution, sort of, when I can restrain myself from nervously tapping and clicking my phone for new news, kind of like one does with a rosary, if a rosary also had the power to deliver jolts of terrified adrenaline I head on over to Twitter. But, instead of traveling aimlessly down that endless media highway, absorbing the random thoughts of random people of my totally un curated Twitter feed and thinking dimly thats interesting about how children should be bored in the summer or wow, that headline has the suffix according to science, so it must be true, or I dont think thats what treason means, Ive made a Twitter list that limits me to legal and political media types who seem to actually understand the TrumpRussianational security issues that are dominating the news. In addition to the accounts that everyone followsThe New York Times, The Washington Post, Maggie Haberman, Preet Bharara, etc. I glance at this short list a few times a day to keep me up to date. Take a look NB This wont necessarily reduce the amount of time you spend onlinethese people are prolific tweeters, writers, lawyers, and podcasters, and even just this smallish group could send you down some winding Twitter rabbit holes. Have other suggestions Leave them in the comments and Ill adjust my list on Twitter. Benjamin Wittes is the co founder and editor in chief of Lawfare, which is devoted to the discussion of hard national security choices itself worth following lawfareblog. He was an editorial writer for the Washington Post for nine years and is now a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. His feed serves as both informationentertainment on its own and as an excellent shunt toward other legal tweeters. Chafetz is law professor at Cornell and author of the forthcoming Congresss Constitution Legislative Authority and the Separation of Powers. According to Steve Vladeck, the editor in chief of Just Security see below, hes particularly good on the powers and role of Congress. Abramson is an attorney and professor of English at UNH and is apparently devoting his every waking moment to explaining stuff on Twitter. He has 1. 18. K followers, so I guess a lot of other people need these explanations, too. I like his lengthy threads explaining complicated matters in short sentences, because heyif I had any kind of attention span I wouldnt be on Twitter in the first place. Heres the start of an epic thread tweet, this one on criminal versus non criminal investigations A site dedicated to law, rights, and national security. Its co editor in chief, stevevladeck, a law professor at UT, is also worth following, as are others associated with Just Security, like Ryan Goodman at rgoodlaw. Af9015 Bda Driver Windows 10. Vladeck calls Goodman good for random criminal statutes. I like Just Security for commentary on international events, especially when my attention is so glued to Washington. Goldsmith is a Harvard Law prof, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a co founder of Lawfare. His laconic commentary isnt especially hilarious, but then, what is hilarious about national security these days But his annotations on current events media alert me to what stories arent getting enough attention, as well as longer form commentary for perspective. Finally, a brief shout out to Matt Tait pwnallthethings. Tait writes primarily about cybersecurity, but Benjamin Wittes notes that he also follows Tait for stuff in the legalpoliticalsecurity area too. And with that, I leave you with this tweet.
