Melissa has been sewing since before she can remember; if you believe her mom she started at age 3, when she was still too young to be allowed to use the scissors. After 12 years of teaching high school theatre, including costuming and sewing, she left the classroom to focus on teaching through her blog, Melly Sews, and her sewing patterns, Blank Slate Patterns. She is in talks to design a fabric line, and has a continuing pattern licensing agreement with McCall's Pattern Company. Four Blank Slate Patterns launched in March 2014 on their Green Pepper rack. Three more will be coming in September 2014. Her current line totals 42 patterns and are available at http://blankslatepatterns.com in PDF format.
"Sewists with an interest in dressmaking will find plenty of
options in this collection." --Library Journal
"Sundressing is unique and in classic Melly Sews style, it is also
educational. I'm always looking for ways to improve my sewing and
my understanding of pattern design. Sundressing is great for both
of these goals." --A Happy Stitch
"Each garment walks you through the process of creating a bodice
and skirt, then the rest is up to you." --Make It Today
Magazine
"This book celebrates everything that a summer sundress is supposed
to be. It's fun to see how many different ways a sundress can be
adapted. It's a great, simple approach for those who are interested
in beginning to alter designs for a better fit." --Right Sides
