Oh, how I yearn for the day when this blogging stuff comes easily and I don't wonder which click is going to take me further away from what I'm trying to accomplish! I'm the sewing lady, not a computer lady or even a photographer. My goal is to tell a story about each garment, start to finish; I can learn to navigate blogspot and take a few pictures to tell the story, but it isn't natural yet. On that note, I had the pleasure of working with Cat, who is showing off a couple of items currently for sale at Kindel & Company.
Cat loves the camera far more than Damian, who does slightly resemble some of the bored looking adult male models, pouting in the background. Cat is wearing a 3T-4T pullover dress; it is vintage cotton/poly fabric, lined with a very soft baby blue cotton.
Cat is also showing off a 4T peasant blouse in the softest cotton ever; I cut up a vintage Sally Gee scarf with a gorgeous orange flower design, using the rolled hem from the scarf as the hem for the sleeves and bottom edges. It is light, airy and great with jeans, leggings, or a skirt. Thank you again, Miss Cat!
To reiterate, my goal is to give a little history of each garment, from its humble repurposed/salvaged/reused beginnings, through the process, to the end when it hangs in the store. Oh, I'd be thrilled if I could throw a few tutorials in as well! That will be coming up soon, but until I get accustomed to taking pictures as I create (and get my sewing area cleaned up so you don't gasp in horror at the "creative process"), I will just keep the blog updated regularly with pictures of "what's new".
I can't express enough how excited I am to have a blog! It's super-fun to hear "You made that? Holy Crap!"
