Re-Designing My Life
I am at my most Zen when I'm creating, whether it be by draping cloth on Chloe (Chloe C my Mannequin .. she's my Ace since design school - we worked hard and made it through. I was the oldest student in class at the time and we still managed to graduate Cum Laude .. Chloe's been here with me through it all, every bit of the craziness from Chicago to the Southeast U.S.A., marriages and divorces, house to house, outfit after outfit - over 2 decades) ... or, if I'm re-working a pattern, especially for me, I stand over 6 feet tall, so my clothing always has to be just so and making it myself is my awesome superpower. Since design school, 90 percent of what I wear ... I create and make myself. I love getting a piece of cloth, asking it what it wants to be and then, bringing it to completion, that is such an amazing rush - it just feels so good. Ok, I'll say it, creating has become my Respite, whenever I feel like there is something missing, or if I get a bit lonely or sad, or mad, I get out a piece of cloth, get the scissors and make myself something beautiful.... (so yes, creating is officially, my boo thang).
