Nothing too much to show for my sewing labors but I have several projects on the ironing board so I hope for some completed garments soon! In the meantime, I have a couple of projects incubating and I need your collective creative souls to send me some guidance!
The Textile Museum is hosting another FAB-U-LOUS "PM @ the TM" garden cocktail party in August. All are encouraged to don their finest Mad Men garments! I have loads of ideas - here are a couple....
I'm think of crafting this Michael Kors sheath pattern from a sleek late 50's - early 60's fabric.
Any ideas about sources of vintage (or vintage-era) fabric??
And I soooooo want to re-create this - a vintage Hermes Trompe-l'oeil dress.
One rub.....I have no experience with painting on fabric. What fabric should I use for the dress? Any advice on the type of paint I should use? Any artists out there who would like to collaborate on this project??
Peace!

Joanne is very persuasive, isn't she?! I love that trompe l'oeuil dress and think it would look fab on you. Fabric painting can't be that difficult, right?
