Denim Revolution
posted on May 13, 2008
Denim Revolution goes on sale today. What’s so revolutionary about it, you ask? Nancy Minsky, a former Calvin Klein design assistant, shows you how to mix together old and new to spice up your wardrobe and save your denim from the dumpster. It also has that irresistible greeeeen element which I like because it’s not only earth-friendly, it’s wallet-friendly, too.
Nancy has a great blog you should check out, 21st Century Dressmakers. In addition to her regular posts, she also offers free downloadable desktop calendars. Click here to download her cool May calendar.

Thank you Katherine for your posting and everyone at Potter Craft for so gracefully collaborating with me on Denim Revolution!
For the May calendar that you link to, I sketched the Alice in Wonderland pedal pushers from the book's spring chapter. They are a flirty, girl style project, with lots of mixing of floral moods, sweet ginghams, pinks, hearts and frayed denim patches. The design is a mish mash of delightful goofiness that allows for different sewing skill levels, so everyone can join fun!
