Gilded Violet is now a blog about Garment design, pattern making and sewing. The items here are my personal projects, and a place to explore ideas for a home sewing pattern company. I hopefully will be launching in the coming year a "Couture and Fine Garment Patterns for the Fashionable Home Seamstress" Please check back for further updates.
