I can hardly believe myself.... I do tell my students all the time that the more they do... the better they get.... practice makes perfect... whether it is basketball, golf, or drawing (and you may recall I want to do more sketches myself) .....and I know that I am living proof both with my BYOB line and with my Kjaer Pottery .... I cannot believe that I refused to look at a sewing machine all of my life.... and inspired only a few months ago.... I bought a machine out of the blue..... and WOW... I am loving it and getting better every day!
I wanted to create something special for my mother and it began with the shawl above.... it has big pockets so that when she goes out - she can throw this on and look great - but have a place to throw her stuff.... keys.... or whatever......
I went out and got some new material - I was so inspired... and this one above was created with again... pockets... and an easy little top/jacket... to throw on and go... it is sewn a bit at the sides so that it has more structure... but can suit anyone from little wee to a big voluptuous woman... it falls beautifully and is comfortable to wear.....
Then... I really really shocked myself... did my Dad help me with this one.... as with all of my pieces - I use no pattern whatsoever and just freely cutting and attaching... I created this beautiful piece of art to wear..... it can be worn inside out, too, for a darker look.... and the arms can be folded up for 3/4 length sleeves. I am just giggly happy with this one..... it probably would be too big for some women.... at least large to XXL
This is the back of the same piece. ... I will soon download these - and more - to
www.kjaerpedersen.ca and to
www.bringyourownbody.etsy.com. AND - when my mother sees the selection that she inspired me to make... she will have to choose which one she really wants..... and maybe I will even iron it first... note the lack of ironing on these little masterpieces......
