Gateway's Fabric Studio Manager, Ashley Brown, brings you this month's selection:
Summer
is breezy and bright, and so is this cute A-line skirt created by Janet Inman. The
palette that Janet used is brilliant for summer, and the neon colors she selected are
trending this season. Janet constructed a random pattern of pinks, greens,
reds, blues, greens, and oranges.
The idea for this skirt came directly from Janet’s last project in the fabric studio. She created a unique set of toddler’s overalls. She created many stripes below a sun. When asked what these decorative stripes were, she exclaimed, “A rainbow!” The rainbow overalls were such a hit that she wanted to create more from this theme of rainbows, and she chose to work on a skirt.
She executed this skirt perfectly. The colors are not
arranged in the predictable order of a conventional rainbow. The spontaneous pattern keeps the skirt fresh
and appealing. The quality of the stripes are not rigid and straight like those
you would see manufactured by a machine in the big box stores. Instead, this
skirt has varying thick and thin lines, giving the skirt a whimsical, artistic
quality. This skirt will keep you guessing, not all colors wrap around to the
other side, at times there is a sharp shift in color. Because the skirt is not
predictable, it catches your eye and keeps your eye moving with curiosity.
The skirt makes a versatile piece for any wardrobe. It
matches well with many color shirts making this piece a welcomed addition to
any closet. This piece was quickly snatched up and purchased upon completion.
However, all hope is not lost, Janet enjoys doing commissions! Contact us today
