Craft2Wear and Winter Park Workshop

November 9, 2014 Leave a Comment

I’m just home from a whirlwind two week trip.
First, the fabulous, amazing and wonderful Craft2Wear show in Washington DC. Held at the gorgeous National Building Museum.

Built after the Civil War to house the headquarters of the US Pension Bureau, it has a frieze around the exterior commemorating the Union soldiers. So cool!

The Smithsonian Women’s committee invited about 50 clothing and jewelry artists from previous Smithsonian Craft Shows to exhibit.

Lots of people came, new friends and old, my jackets and scarves found new homes.
It was a wonderful show!

After, I had an extra day to visit the National Portrait Museum.

Full of paintings and sculptures of important and interesting people.
Like Thomas L. McKenney, Sequoyah, Andrew Jackson and John Jacob Aster.

Who, in 1851, invented the most reliable and affordable sewing machine available.
900 stitches per minute!
The portrait museum is fantastic. I spent the entire day there.

On the first day of class the students carried, pushed and wheeled in their sewing machines, surgers, ironing boards and supplies.

I want each piece to flatter and enhance the body it adorns.”
