News & Events

New Available: Lingerie Fabrics & Trims Swatch Journals

I’m so excited to present these Lingerie Fabrics & Trims Swatch Journals, available in two colorways!

I developed this as a handy tool for recording your lingerie fabrics and trims–so you know how much of each fabric or trim you have on hand and where you sourced it. There’s also room to record fabric content, price, and a place for notes. 

I’m not planning on carrying inventory so I self-published them through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing program. That means you can order a copy and Amazon will print and put one together for you! What’s really cool about this is that you can order this book on amazon.it or amazon.ca or amazon.co.jp depending on where you are located! This will allow you to order and get the book printed and shipped more locally to save on postage costs! 🙌

You can learn more about the swatch journals and ordering them here.
