Hello and welcome to Love to Soe,

I'm Caroline the owner of Blackburn Fabric's and B.F.

We're two sewing buds who love to sew and it's all we ever talk about.

Today we are interviewing Kenneth D. King,

Couture designer, technical sewing wizard, King, Kature Designer, Technical Sewing Wizard, Teacher, Writer, and Contributing

Editor to Thread's magazine.

We chat with him about the couture techniques he developed himself, his storied career, and his latest book, Dahl Kautur.

If you love to sew, this is your show.

Hello Kenneth, thank you so much for coming on the show today.

Well, thank you. It's my pleasure. Good to see you.

Yes, we're so excited to get the opportunity to chat with you.

Can you please introduce yourself to our listeners?

Okay, for those who don't know who I am, Kenneth D King, D as in Diva, I like the D in there. I think it

illiterates nicely. I have a following in the sewing world. I do a lot of different things, but I started

sewing when I was four. I started sewing for Barbie, more on that later, and started making clothing for myself as a teenager, my

degrees in fashion merchandising from a college in Oklahoma. So my first career was

Window Display. Window Display got me to San Francisco and when I got to San Francisco and worked in Window Display

I had a boss who was certifiably crazy and we had a chance to kill him and make it look like an accident.
