Hey there.
I wanted to say how much I’m loving the blog (and website) so far! I’ve just watched all of your episodes in one go haha, and it’s great to see a fashion process making full use of the tools of the 21st Century, in such an interesting way!
I’ve taken so much from just a few hours of browsing, and I’m really looking forward to your future installments :)
Keep it up!
Hey Ralph
Another couple of great videos! Really like the embroidery. I have just got a copy of Couture Sewing Techniques just is great, but wondered what other books you recommend or find yourself referring to? Any suggestions would be great.
keep up the good work :)
Thanks Leavittolis… good work with the book, i got the same one on my shelf it’s an awesome book.. also recomend:

HI Ralph,
I just came across you yesterday and wow – fantastic! Love your designs and love the rest of the site(s). So much work involved. I stayed up very late watching your videos, which are fresh, fun and interesting! Most specifically, a huge thanks for the one about pattern making in illustrator as I was just about to start tackling this by myself, so that video is a REAL help.
Hey Anna… thanks for your lovely response… really apreciated.
Have been getting some awesome messages recently.
Look out for the next couple of tutorials on digital print development.. those are gona be fun. once again thank you
