The Chic Girl's Guide

Sunday, February 17, 2013


It's official! After much deliberation among the higher-ups at my publishing house, my sewing project book has been given a title--The Chic Girl's Guide to a One-of-a-Kind Wardrobe, hereafter to be referred to affectionately as The Chic Girl's Guide (that's chic like the Arabian sheikh,  not the Chiclets variety). HA.
Obviously, I made sure to point out to my editor that it's highly arguable whether I'm actually a chic girl, but in spite my protest, the title stands.

If you follow @createclothes on Instagram, Twitter or Vine, you've already been seeing behind-the-scenes shots of what's been going on with the book projects and final photo shoots. I'm coming to the home stretch, finalizing the photo layouts, tweaking the tutorials, pulling together the final elements and it's all been such a crazy ride. 
I've loved the entire experience (well, not the exhaustion part), but I'm also excited for things to settle into a more normal place here at Kristina J.
