Inspired by the Roses article in the latest Threads, I used Dad's old ties to create roses and leaves. Natty style with sentimental overtones...I plan to make them for my 4 sisters too. I try to...

Re: Project Runway 9: "Image is Everything"

Did anyone else notice that Bert created a bad J Jill floppy/sad sack tunic outfit? Trust me, that musician does not need to cover his bum. Sigh...The whole episode made me cringe.

Re: New Sewing Show, "It's Sew Easy," Starts June 30 on PBS

I don't see it here in Oregon.....we have OPB and no search is turning it up. Any sewing show with a fashion emphasis is good with me.

Re: Project Runway: What's Mine is Yours

Does anyone else besides me think that Michael Kors is there stealing ideas? His designs, talk about mall stuff, ick. Very boring. Just rehashing of same old.
Watch his face when the models do the runway.
I see the gears turning when he sees something unexpected and scribbles madly and I just bet we'll see these ideas pop up in his collection soon.

Emilio:
That striping was home economics class in the 60's for me, please. Seen it for decades. Novel? No! Agree that it's a Lacroix ripoff.

Seth Aaron:
One of his weaker.

Anthony: Grey armpits? ouch

Jay:
My fave for actual clothing. Not so hot on the runway. Did no one notice the marc jacobs and balenciaga drum majorette jacket ripoff going on?

The best episodes are when Tim goes to the designer's homes and studios so this week should be good.

Carry on!


Re: Project Runway Episode 12 - Who Goes to NY Fashion Week?

Especially to Snapitup,
When Gordana's gown walked out, I yelled "OMG a giant vagina!" My husband was on the floor and thank god my 2 teenaged sons were out of earshot.
Love Project Runway, can't wait for better contenders!!!!

Re: Cabbage Rose

Hi Pat,
So glad you like them. I am on my 5th one and they all look a little different and really nice. I got the idea from the latest threads, May 09, with the orange cover. Have fun and post some of your creations! My friend makes wallets out of men's ties, I'll try to get her to post. Cheers!
