The color blocking and linear shapes of today have a modern feel while also evoking images from the sixties. Love the Micheal Kors dress which I could pair with the Viktor and Rolf bag and either the Yves St. Laurent or Dries Van Noten shoes.

I started sewing at age ten or eleven so by the time I was sewing for you I was already pretty good and could whip up those little outfits and doll dresses like a pro. Funny that was in my "I think I'm going to be a fashion designer years" before I realized that you were the one blessed with the strong fashion-forward genes and mine were more geared towards classics.

I took Color Theory in school, where my whole concept of color changed. Thank you for this information. It helps me to think of color in new ways. Also love the vintage Simplicity pattern! Reminded me of the sewing my Mom did for her little girls! Color has always fascinated me. I took Color Theory in school, where my whole concept of color changed. Thank you for this information.
