Fashion Flat Sketch Pad
By Roseann
The ability for a young designer to put their design ideas on paper to communicate with others in the industry is crucial. A flat sketch is a detailed illustration of your design, actual human proportion using a figure called a croquis.
M&J recently discovered a product to help young designers create flat sketch illustrations quickly and accurately called a Flat Sketch Pad. The Flat Sketch Pad has an industry standard front and back croquis on every page.

Twilight Fever
By Blerona
To get into the spirit of the ‘New Moon’ premiere on November 20th , I wanted to make some kind of jewelry that represented the Twilight Series. I had in mind the charm that Jacob made for Bella in ‘Eclipse’, but I came across this picture of Alice. She has on this cool necklace that looks like a pendant attached to ribbon. So I decided to make a necklace like hers instead.
Here’s what I came up with
Materials all from M&J Trimming:
- 3/8” Dark Grey 9mm Velvet Ribbon
- 1 Silver 9mm Metal Sew on Snap
- 1 36L Silver Metal Crest Button w/ Shank
- Multi-Grip Glue or Gemtac Glue
- Sewing needle and grey thread
- Scissors
Directions:
- Cut the ribbon in half to make two smaller ribbons each should measure 9-10inches
- Take apart snap and sew one part onto each end of both ribbons.
- Make one slit 2inches from the other end of both ribbons
- Insert shank through slits and glue together
- Let it dry and enjoy the movie.
