One Week Away: OOAK

Well, just one short week to go and I’ll be on the road to Toronto for the Spring 2013 One of a Kind Show. It feels kind of fresh for me as I didn’t do it last year so have had a break. I think I went down at Christmastime to look but it’s been good to take a break.

I’m getting ready what I can, my work is really one of a kind as I don’t do production, don’t have sewers (or knitters really) and it takes me a minimum of two days to complete a garment.

This blue one is lovely but I’m showing it as a sample because I’m writing a pattern for it and want it to teach from.

Here is a shot of a bunch of felted work hanging in my studio, jackets, vests & scarves. I did  a jacket and a vest last week over two days and made them larger in size…but I can tweak them to fit with sewing.

I’m going to put a small one in the fashion show along with a knit jacket….I just haven’t decided which yet….maybe it’ll be something I manage to make this week!
