As the fabric runs through the foot of my sewing machine, I am deep in thought, not about how this project will come out but about the emotions I have felt in that day, week, or month. I do not feel comfortable expressing my emotions to the world, but sitting in front of my sewing machine allows me to let it all go.
Over time I have noticed that how one feels can be reflected in clothing. Whether you’re expressing an excited mood with a yellow sundress or depressed in all black, what you are wearing says something about how you feel and who you are, whether intended or not. People deny the idea that clothes don’t make a person, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And, yes, to a certain extent I guess that is true, but let's face it, we do judge people by the way they dress.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to wear clothes that tell the world how you really feel? I myself would not feel comfortable wearing some of my emotions for everyone to see.
I wanted to challenge that idea, wearing your emotions. If I could create fabric which spoke my emotions would I have the guts to prance around in it?
