Comment by Loren Frantzen-Murris on October 30, 2011 at 6:45: Love to join this group ! Grew up with making my own clothing and now I am very much in altering clothing, my own or bought in second-hand shops. It is nice to re-use clothing like that and I find it inspiring and rewarding (we do need that in this finacial crisis ?!?!?!)

Comment by Fiddlehead Finery on October 15, 2011 at 9:16: It is easy to make your own art clothes, especially if you have made any clothing in the past. For instance if yo want to make a jacket. Select your fabric for the jacket, keeping in mind what sort of needle work would you like to do as this will be your canvas. Cut it out of selected fabric, using the pattern sheet given in pattern packet. On a work sheet design your back sides and front, drawing your designs. Transfer design to jacket pieces and stitch away. When you have everything in place and it pleases you, continue sewing your jacket together. Don,t let sewing an article of clothing from keeping you from it. It is easy to find a seamstress who will assemble it for you.

Just participated in an wearable art show with Gallery 96, an artist co-op I belong to. It was great fun and the impetus fo getting back into it. You can see some of the wok of members on my blog.
