Day 2
Question: What was your favorite garment that was hand-sewn, and who sewed it for you? Mine was a yellow A-line dress that my mom made, and I wore white go-go boots with it. Nancy Sinatra sang my theme song!
Glamour Girl by Christen Brown
This piece started with the fun print that was used in all four blocks. I loved the colors that were used and found additional fabrics in both stripes and prints in those same colors. I also incorporated a few precious strips of vintage batik fabrics. The piece is embellished with rick rack trim, grosgrain and novelty ribbons, embroidery, beads and sequins, and novelty buttons.
This is a new piece, that can be seen in my new book, Hand Embroidery Dictionary, by C&T Publishing.

HI again- LOVE this ! Is that a vintage fabric? I would love that for my jeans. As always, you inspire me. My head is swimming! Miss you, Xoxoxox, Pati

Hi Pati, The print is probably three or four years old, maybe longer, so not vintage. I am not sure where I bought it though. It would be fun to cut out sections to use on your jeans! Sorry I can’t bequeath you any though, I used all that I had on this piece! Miss U2!
