janestarzFor the past week we've been working on the new collection, and as a result creative juices are splashing everywhere. With the 420 meters of Nilo fabric in six new and bright summer colours coming in, we've got quite the work (not quite yet) cut out for us.
Willemijn pointed at her midriff. "I can just see it, coming from here;" her hands moved to her waist at her side; "to here and then longer in the back. And if you do it like this..." she made a vague kimono sleeve gesture.
"Ooh, yeah, that would be sweet." Kim purred. Her sewing machine was going pedal-to-the metal fast while she held two layers of stretch fabric in place with her hands. She stopped sewing and grabbed a small square of fabric. "Is this a scrap?"
Snip, snip, the scissors cut off the top corner of the twice-folded square, making a neckline. Another snip of the scissors made the kimono-sleeve. Two pins held everything in place. A bottle of glue turned out to be too big, so instead I handed her a roll of thread.
"See, that would be so fat!" Kim said, indicating the coolness factor in 80s-come-again slang.
"Very Cindy Lauper." I commented. "I can just see it now. Big hair, wide neckline, bare midriff."
Sometimes the little images work just as well as yards and yards of fabric draped over a mannequin.
