Susan
Reishus started fashion designing when a child, learned to sew
and create her own original designs and custom work for
clients by the age of 11. Though she has a formal education
in fashion design, she found that lacking, and continued
her haute couture designs and custom work and tailoring.
Her
background included her own work with color and image and some
modeling, and then training by Color Me Beautiful and as a consultant
with that organization for a few years. Because of
misdiagnoses made within the color and image industry,
she created a foolproof system called the Pharaoh's Collar,
and developed incomparable color packets with stellar customer
service. She offered other support products and
trained and supplied color and image consultants in 13
countries. She was often referred to as having
the most accurate color eye in the industry.
In
addition she trained consultants in
body proportions, personality type and flattering lines in
dressing, and included wardrobing, accessorizing (50 ways to tie
scarves), packing (50 outfits in a briefcase), makeup, business
etiquette, and all related. She was frequently
solicited for lectures because of her warm, enthusiastic and engaging
presentation style.
She
was taught to knit at age 7, but went into it full force around age
21 and has been knitting since. She does multitudinous forms
of needlework, but knitting and hardanger typically win out.
Restrictions within the textile industry and personal health challenges
made her focus more on her knitting and her improved health has enabled
her to more recently begin drafting her many knitting
designs. They will range from baby to adult and
updated classics to fashion forward inspiration and accessories, and
there will be many lace designs.
Susan
is excited to be able to present a bevy of uplifting and
inspiring patterns that are not only esthetically pleasing and
flattering to fit and wear, but also include pieces that were designed
with profound meaning such as in her lace items. She is
thrilled to offer her elegant flagship "Swan Lake &
Lily Stole" as her first published knitting pattern on this site, with
many more to follow.
Her
blog is at Susan
In Stitches where she offers tips that are helpful
for knitters. She is
also known as "elationrelation" on many knit lists that she likes to
offer support and help on. Her name was chosen as if
we are in "relation" to each other and help when we
can, that is the quickest way to "elation."
