I Know, She's a Genius...
My daughter, creative tour-de-force that she is, recently "deconstructed" a Halloween costume and a shirt that no longer fits:

prodigy she is. that's brilliant. you've got to..
ReplyDeletemy mother did buy me a sewing machine when i was a little kid. she was hoping that one day I'd make something for her but never did. my bad. I did make lots of cool stuff tho for myself. :)
as for your card Q - it does work! highly recommend it.
Wow! A blooming designer in your own house. How exciting. Will she wear the retooled items to school?
ReplyDeletea fashion designer daughter... oh you are soooooo set.
ReplyDeletei dream of this. this or a hairdresser. i'd be so grateful!
wow, i would wear that skirt. she's really talented.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun! Is she going to wear it?
ReplyDeleteHow nice, oh yes your daughter is showing talent, so I think you got to...
ReplyDeleteHow cleaver ;)
Who knows she might be a fashion designer...
xoxo
I see Project Runway in that kid's future.
ReplyDeleteHey All: My daughter is so thrilled by the positive comments. She asked me to say thanks to you...
ReplyDeleteThanks Songy. You gotta make your mother something nice! I'm going to work on a card for sure...
Sal: She says she won't wear them because they are too "revealing". No joke. This is a kid who whispers to me at restaurants if I lean forward and she feels my tops are too low-cut. I suggested she put a bodysuit underneath so we'll see if that flies.
Editor: I know - can you imagine if that happened?! A chef is a good one too :-)
Thanks Nina. Of course, I hope I'm not tainted by "mom bias" - which is an affliction where everything your kid does has to be genius. :-) I'm pretty hardcore with fashion crit though, and it is all subjective.
Miss C: Check my comment to Sal. I'll keep you posted. She's got so many wacky art and craft ideas she's always pulling together... I think your daughter is similar, non?
Seeker: We can only hope! (A rich and famous designer...)
Dr. M: Me too! :-) Sadly, I've never actually seen that show because it's on cable and I don't have cable. But I hear about it on all the blogs. Thanks for the lovely compliment.
That's so cool, definitely nurture that talent - I was a sewing/deconstructing kid (still am, I suppose) and had so much fun with it. (Saves money too).
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteI have a budding designer in the house myself. Can't wait for the day when she can make me clothes.
awwwwww! that's brillliant.
ReplyDeletethat's talent =)
Skye: Her crazy, unique boho style reminds me a bit of yours, actually!
ReplyDeleteIHeart: You must post examples of her work. How old are your kids?
Merci, LaC.!
I love how your daughter put together that shirt with the pearls, my first thought of the pearls+the lace was Lanvin :)
ReplyDeleteThats really great!
hahaha you must put your daughter in sewing classes and maybe well see her in Bryan Park one day !
J: Wouldn't that be fun. My chance at a front row seat!! :-) Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I had taken sewing lessons when I was little. I'm completely self taught and while I enjoy figuring it out. . . nurture her talents . . . she'll thank you later.
