A question I had for the Atlantic Sewing Guild blog readers and/or members.
The NAM Dress Shirt
This was the first dress shirt design I ever had, which inspired me to learn to sew and create my current wardrobe. It was a highly symbolic design with a distinct look and I finally got all the factors right to make it, from fit to craftsmanship to final design (from draft) to the matching buttons which I found quite serendipitously in Manhattan.
EVERGREEN Dress Shirt
This dress shirt is meant to evoke calmness and stability with its hunter green, white and medium brown colour scheme inspired by trees of the evergreen forest. And like the evergreen trees, the buttons used has a little bit of wood on it.
Believing in the Strength of Thread
It’s just a little thing, a thread. So easily breakable a child could break it with his or her bare hands. If anything is hanging by it metaphorically, it’s by the slimmest of margins before it’s gone. Yet, it is so strong.
