New year, new ideas



Here we are in a new year, a new DECADE even. Time flies by so quickly. I seem to have so many ideas for designs and sooo little time to actually make them. I am trying to relax and just enjoy this time in my life. I am so lucky to have the luxury of a home studio and freedom to go there and create my visions.
As I talked with my customers at my shows last year I realized that a more casual look is needed. I have been working on a line of fleece jackets in various styles to give a more casual feel and coziness to my jackets. I have also been focused on recycling felted wool sweaters. I have used them for years in my jackets but I am working on a line of jackets made entirely of sweater parts that are handsewn together. I will post the pictures of these when they are done. In the meantime I am posting some pix today of recently completed jackets.
