Fall 2011 Collection

Finally after a hot summer, the Tangente - Fall Collection (part 1) is here. Part 1 consists of basic separates (tops, tunics and skirts) in bamboo jersey. Part 2 will be ready in November and will include tops in organic cotton and a soft fleece jacket made from recycled water bottles.

Thank you to photographer, April, from Ahartphotography and model, Pascale, who had to endure a scorching hot day in long sleeve shirts and boots. You both did a fantastic job!

Here are my favourite styles of the new collection:

Elise top with Mona skirt

Wrap around cardigan with short sleeves

Wholesale ready

I recently decided to become serious about wholesaling. Over the past year, I had been using a less than stellar line list to showcase my new collections. In my old line list, I didn't have any pictures just a link to my Etsy store listing and a short description in a Word document. Boring!

Between my day job, sewing and my new "watching old episodes of CSI on the treadmill" obsession, I didn't have time to fiddle with Photoshop to design a new list so I enlisted the help of Simone from My Magic Button. She did a great job designing the background and layout of the line list template.

Once I had the final copy, all I had to do was copy and paste my pictures and description. Easy Peasy !

Not so easy was trying to figure how to make a mutli page PDF document. My older photoshop program didn't have the option so I had to download a free trial of Adobe Acrobat 9. Lesson learned!

Here's a sneak peek of the first page:

Shop update

Here are few new tops that I just listed in the shop.

This week, I'm working on a few pieces for fall. It's weird to be making clothing for fall when it seems summer still isn't here. Ah well, there's always hope for sunny days in August.

Pink Paisley - Small

Shades of fall - Medium

New reversible scarf tops

Here's a sneak peek at my new reversible scarf tops. I was a bit hesitant listing these in the fall but I think they're pretty cute with a long sleeve top (or even a turtleneck) underneath. You can click on the pictures to see the back. Sorry, only 1 is still available.
