Umm, Happy Belated New Year?

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I know, I know, I know.......
It has been a a very long time.
BUT,
I have a good excuse.

I have been going back to school, 2 nights at week at RMIT, studying textile design!
It's been an intensely amazing time, but it has not left me much room to breathe.
Before the Easter break I was working frantically on a project that was way more than I needed for credit in my class, but I did it to my standard, not theirs, and I am very happy with the result...

See my next post for details, and, umm, happy new year?

I'm trying to kick start my creative motor and thought I'd take you along for the ride.

I'm a clothing designer by trade, a stay at home mom and ex pat by choice. Graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Apparel Design. Worked for 16 years in the NYC fashion industry with a few side stops in costume and dance along the way. The inside joke is that I'm no perfectionist. Far from it, in fact. At RISD we used to joke about "the wing it school of sewing" and "the wing it school of pattern making". I try new things. I make it up as I go. Some things work and some things don't but it's all part of the process.

I started collecting vintage clothing and patterns in high school. Most of what I know about clothing construction and knitting came from this collection and I'll be sharing lots of it with you.
