blueprint society: girl and her dog
in catneydogney
In brainstorming a style that would fit several sizes, I created this 33 wrap skirt. My friend was turning 33 when we were in Brazil so I wanted to surprise her with a number piece, but also that I would be able to wear it a few months later.
Before I began creating childrenswear, I actually was making small dog tshirts!
I have been sewing children's clothing for years now, once in a while making a dog outfits as gifts, but recently found my entire range of patterns. I've updated my work as my skills and knowledge of knits have advanced, they're even more wearable now.
Photographed here by the first professional photographer I ever worked with, Jennifer Anderson.
As always, the numbers are found, not ironed onto the tshirts.
I am always looking for more numbers!
More numbers as I find them, and a special birthday print in queue.
