Once upon a time....
a blue eyed tomboy ran into the house all dirty, wild haired with scraped knees and was fascinated at the sight of her elegant mom putting the finishing touches on a dress that had, just hours earlier, been a length of fabric. How in the world was her mom able to have created something that looked like real clothes she would see in the shops downtown in only the time it had taken to pop some wheelies off a ramp in the street with the neighborhood boys?? What magical skills were these and how could she, after showering off the remains of the dirt and sweat, also obtain these skills??? After considerable hours, days and weeks, she was able to fashion some tiny clothes for her once discarded Barbie dolls which only fed her desire further. This "sewing" she had formerly scoffed at as she ran by her mom out the door to soccer practice, impromptu games of kickball or fort building in the woods, now enchanted her and filled her dreams with all kinds of possibilities. Never had she been the type to just sit and be patient, with the exception of reading mysteries and adventure stories, but now she craved to learn more and more of the details of this secret world. Gradually, the soccer cleats were replaced by ladylike sandals and the dirty fingernails by manicures....and the love for lace and feminine styles became her new-found attire. Even to this day, her torn 20yr old jeans and worn boots are usually combined with a girly top and delicate jewelry in a perfect marriage of the tomboy spirit with the girly-girl esthetic she now embraces.
The trips to the antique stores, county fairs, dank basements and cobwebby barn lofts don't faze her cause she still has that bit of tomboy and adventurous spirit always on the quest to find buried long forgotten textile treasures for her new designs.
