To Jennifer Paganelli for your mentorship and unlimited supply of love and inspiration. Thank you for making me part of your beautiful world.
To Cathy Peckiconis, for your constant support. I so admire your cheerfulness, faith in God, and amazing brain. I can’t even imagine being the Scientific Seamstress without you as my Head Technician.
To Tom Jordan, Marlo Troy, and Shannon Winters, for being there for me every day. You three and Cathy were my go-to advisors for everything from design ideas to writing style throughout this process. I am truly blessed to have you as friends and confidants.

To my good friends near and far, scientist and non-scientist, sewing and non-sewing . . . thanks for accepting and cheering me on, no matter what crazy tangent I took.
To my extended family, my little brother Blake, his sweet wife Sonja, and their adorable boys; my aunts, uncles, and cousins; my mother-in-law, Madge, and all of the Crim sisters, brothers, cousins, nieces, and nephews; and my stepkids Andy, Danny, and Emily, and my stepdaughter-in-law, Anna, thank you all for your love and encouragement.
To my parents, Louis and Elizabeth Hegeman, thank you for giving me a happy childhood and all the tools to make for a fulfilling adulthood. Thank you for pushing me academically when I so needed it, while still nurturing a sense of fun and creativity.
To my husband, Delmar, and our son, Louis, thanks for your help and patience during this year-long book-writing process. Thanks for trying on numerous hats, and stepping over explosions of fabrics and trims to deliver meals to me at the computer. You guys gave me the space I needed to work, but kept me grounded with your warmth and unconditional love.
