I'm almost as interested in the production of a garment as I am the finished product. Seeing the evolution of a piece of fabric into a miniature piece of wearable art is truly fascinating. I start my sewing classes this coming fall so a friends mom gave me a little intro class a few days ago so I wouldn't be so out of the loop. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it looks and I'm kinda freaking out about this coming semester. Learning about all the work that goes into the clothes we wear gives me a whole new appreciation for them. I now find myself examining the seams in my clothing or getting caught up in a ruffle on a shirt wondering how exactly it came to be.
I enjoyed this little video that showed the behind the scenes work for the imogene+willie autumn 2012 collection. What a talented and cool group of people! The dinner party at the end is a perfect example of what I was talking about in this post. Clearly these girls are my long lost best friends.
Also, I had the opportunity to see The Screwtape Letters this weekend in Houston. It was a brilliant and mentally stimulating production that made me reconsider everything I thought I knew about spiritual warfare. I can't get it off my mind and I'm amxious to read to the book. YOU MUST, go see it if it's coming to a city near you on its tour. I mean it's C.S. Lewis so you know it's gotta be good. Click here to find out more information.
One of my favorite quotes (among many) from the show...
“Be not deceived, Wormwood, our cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human, no longer desiring but still intending to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe in which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”
