Creative Camp

Last week at this time I was in Houston, Texas for Creative Camp. This is an industry learning event that is organized by Susan Kostelecky of the Custom Sewing Institute.

It is a wonderful opportunity for any in the window treatment industry. We took classes from 6 industry leaders, who are all workroom owners themselves. We learned everything from hand sewing techniques to draping fabric. The fabric draping class was actually based on a book that was written back in 1889 - new fangled isn't always the best!

There are already great plans in the works for Creative Camp 2011. One speaker that has already been confirmed to teach is Rebecca Day of Merrick & Day fame. She is actually coming all the way from England to teach! This tells you that not only does she think that Creative Camp is a worthwhile event to place on her busy schedule, but it also speaks to the forward thinking of Susan Kostelecky as she organizes these events and helps keep our industry on the cutting edge.

Thanks to Susan for providing us all with a wonderful event!
