It's my personal challenge to be comfortable yet visible. If I raise a few eyebrows, all the better!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-6408495805214104502014-05-06T10:04:31.889-07:002014-05-06T10:04:31.889-07:00Congrats on 9 years!!

And there must be a market for innovative patterns - it seems like the women of the Gulf Islands wear little else but asymetrical, flowing, interestingly ruched garments - with their gumboots of course!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188002198879523397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-15020588919711387922014-05-06T06:21:17.524-07:002014-05-06T06:21:17.524-07:00Very thoughtful post, and filled with ideas for me...Very thoughtful post, and filled with ideas for me to ponder. I love the IDEA of arty garments, but on my petite form, they often look silly. We are overdue for styles melding art and sophistication.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-5315712974982649802014-05-05T18:37:31.045-07:002014-05-05T18:37:31.045-07:00Thanks for a post filled with chuckles.

The youth culture that dominates independent pattern making is definitely not into arty. And I don't blame them, as arty can sometimes veer into dowdy. But that's partly because so many arty patterns are old. I'd love to see a mature designer doing arty garment patterns, but I'm not holding my breath for it. I guess that means I'll need to get more innovative myself. Which could be a blast!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.com
