A pile of shibori pieces waiting to be made into clothing for Shirley Allen.
I have had so much fun the last two days! Carter has had some wonderful friends in town, whose presence, has changed our workplace flow in fun and exciting ways. Carter has been hosting Shirley and George, of ShirleyAllen.
Carter offered them the unique opportunity of coming to the studio to pick pieces for their shop. Now, all of the shops that we work with get ultimate say over what kinds of pieces they get, and we work very hard to keep them all wowed, but visiting the studio is a whole different experience. Shirley described the experience of sifting through Carter's studio as one of sensory overload. There is certainly enough to look at to keep you busy for weeks.
Shirley, who has been selling Carter's work for years, layers and matched different shibori patterns in a way that is amazing to watch. This simple concept is one that I never would have dreamed of and the outcome is awesome! She, Carter, and George put their energies together in our sewing studio to pick fabrics and choose designs for some custom pieces. Enjoy a little taste of what they came up with.
