Rain Forest Couture

That’s Jamie.  I got love for her, she had love for my clothes.  The skirt I made (and showed at the AKFO), the shirt with one of my stencils.  We’re at Kalani, romping around between A-frames getting good pics.

That skirt was actually one of the first things I ever did sew, besides that pillow I made back in a Home Ec class in the eighth grade.  That project came after we learned how to make pigs inna blanket.

Below is Maggie:

She’s rockin’ a skirt I designed, using a heavy upholstery fabric that had a great flow to it.  And it has pockets!!!  My sewing mentor James was the man in getting it together, I learned so much from him.  His voice is still in my head when I sew; it’s a good thing.

The top is my ninja stencil with a shirt we tore apart and tied back together.  Now that’s jungle fashion!!
