MALE PATTERN BOLD

Peter from wonderful blog Male Pattern Boldness recently interviewed me regarding sewing and specifically jeans. He is a wonderful writer and a true sewing inspiration. If you love sewing, or just want to read a great blog have a look.

From the Vault...

I was making a few clothes many years ago.


 Finally found the photos again. A bit of a blast from the early 2000's.


And yes, that is a pair of jeans turned upside down with a zip in it- may have to make a new version of that skirt.

Have a great week.
Don

Oh I am loving the time warp - great to revisit old creations and chart your evolution - who would have thunk it - from upside down jean-skirts to the hoodies and dresses of 2011?!

And I meant to say - it is a great interview too!

I'm sure the early 2000's weren't kind to anybody, but this is great haha.

I guess I was too young to enjoy them

Cool photos and cooler creations. Your love of sewing and creativity in that arena is not a mere flash in the pan! Glad you shared.

Neat. And how funny to think of early 2000's as nostalgic. Where does the time go?

That is a great idea for a skirt!
