Hourglass Patterns: Staying Organized When Creating Patterns

How I Stay Organized When Creating Patterns:

Below is a sample spec sheet I create for patterns that I'm working on.  Here's a Linen Short I've been working on.  I may have 20+ patterns in my log that I want to create, but often I may not have the time to dedicate to my pattern shop, so this helps me come back to a project when I've stepped away for a long period of time.  And even if a particular pattern is something I never plan to add to my shop; it's a pattern I will make for myself over and over again.  

Laurie's Other DIY: Hair Conditioner

When I'm not sewing, I'm making DIY Hair and Skin Formulations.  Here's a link to my Hair Conditioner.  I have wavy frizzy hair with some spirals on the underlay.  I've over processed my hair over the past year and had to find a solution to bring back it's integrity.  This formula is rich in Macadamia Nut Oil, Wheat Protein, Silk Peptides, and D Panthenol B5.  I also add Centrimonium Chloride which is great for slip.  I find the conditioners on the market lack the slip I need.  Here's a link to the recipe, which is enough for a small travel bottle of 3.5 oz.  This is a good way for you to make a small batch and see if it works for you:  Laurie's DIY Salon Quality Hair Conditioner.
