Studio News - April 8th 2011

Okay, so you make women's purses.

What do you make for men?

These are the questions I hear all of the time.

My early sewing career was with a local men's suit factory.

I started in sleeves and worked my way into custom tailoring.

It was a wonderful way to learn fashion, sewing and design.

So, yes I create for men. I just haven't done so in a few years.

With that said...

I received a wonderful opportunity this week to create a set of bow ties for a wedding party.

The bride was not seeing what she envisioned....go figure.

So, with my pencil and sketchbook in hand I began to create something I haven't ventured to do in quite a few years. (We wont say how many kids)

Below is a quick studio pic of the final product.

Of course yours truly cant just slap a sticker on it and call it a day.

He goes full bore with instructions. Dork!

The fabric is actually quite nice.
