Welcome to Space

Space is a place to consider visual inspiration, obsessions, and conundrums.

I'll start with some of my favorite indulgences: beautiful textiles.

I bought these way back in March from the incredible "Delectable Mountain" Fabric store in VT.






Below is what this lovely black and white cotton became:



Cut-out and piping detail on the skirt. The piping is all bias but black silk with an off-white polka-dot pattern. It was perfect since the cotton check(or crossword puzzle as my hubby calls it) has almost invisible little off white squares within the design.



Next, these two gorgeous fabrics became a funky little cocktail dress inspired by a new desire for some really bright colors in my wardrobe. I actually set down a fluorescent yellow cardigan next to the plaid silk one morning and that was that. I had to make it!
