I've been making clothes since Junior High School. As those who know me and have taken classes with me or from me, know that I immediately am redigning patterns the minute I begin reading them. It doesn't matter whether it's a sewing pattern, beading, or knitting, I call myself a re-designer.
When I began to dye and do surface design techniques, I used it to make wearable art. It was what I was know for in Artists' Own, an art co-op gallery myself and 20 other artists began in 2000 in Lafayette, IN.
As with most of my interests, wearables transformed into another textile interest. Therefore, it's been several years since I've made wearables. All my pieces have homes and I didn't get pictures of most of them. Here are a few I remembered to document.
