Wow, TWO "sewing celebs" together in the SAME pic!<br /><br /> I guess Claudine sorta qualifies as a "celebrity", but unlike you or KK I haven't seen her in a magazine or on the Threads website...i do subscribe to her blog. I signed on just before she started making that jacket, so I recognize it. Love the colour combination!<br /><br /> You MUST go to the Threads website and take a look at the FABULOUS pink leather Western -style vintage jacket KK picked up in Toronto; while not a fan of pink leather, I will concede the jacket is AMAZING and the Mexican leatherwork is BREATHTAKING.<br /><br />And I agree with Vintagegal that if i were to live in NY I'd probably end up in a refridge box right next to her with stacks of fabric everywhere! It's bad enough being in proximity to Toronto and Queen St. fabrics without the temptation that NY would bring!Sufiyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-8675554699164547752012-12-10T17:21:23.609-05:002012-12-10T17:21:23.609-05:00Yes-That is Kenneth D.
