Re: Meet Designer Brook DeLorme

I teach sewing to kids 7-18 and if anyone had put together something like this I would make them rip it out and do it again. My students have their stuff judged at fair and any garment like these would be given the very lowest ribbon, maybe just a participation ribbon. I understand that this is artistic and alot of designers(even the big name ones) go for artistic stuff but call it what it is- artistic design,fiber arts or a craft project but not sewing or tailoring. Seams need to be hidden, hems finished, both sides of the garment constructed the same way and the same style or size, correct fit and not looking like it was something a 5 year old put together from mom's discarded clothes to play dressup. Some of the colors used were excellent but really-is this what Threads consider sewing or a talented designer? I'd be embarrassed to be seen in these clothes and so would my YOUNG students.
