Project Runway Final

So, Jeffrey won Project Runway.  I am not surprised as I kind of expected it.  Jeffrey wasn’t my favorite designer, I am not sure he was most viewer’s favorite designer, but it is not a popularity contest after all.  But I think he was the most innovative of the finalists and I never thought the winner would be the designer that might appeal to the biggest market cross-section, which might be Ulli, or even be particularly marketable.  Both Ulli and Laura have distinct styles and viewpoints and I think there are strong markets for both of them, but that is not what "fashion" is all about, at least not as it is practiced in the fashion centers like New York, among the fashion magazines and fashion insiders. Michael has talent, but he has a way to go developing that talent.  I am sure he has a future and I think that future is assured.  Jeffrey pushed all the right buttons and his designs were interesting and innovative.  Besides I think Jeffrey has a market, and there are Jeffrey ideas I would copy as well.

That said, I have been a Laura fan since the beginning.  No, I can’t wear all her designs, but I still like her style.  But then, all you have to do is look at the accessories I wore to my anniversary dinner last night (and removed as I ran into the watch Project Runway only 10 minutes late) to see that I lean more Laura-wise than Ulli-wise.

Sewing will continue today and the nursery set will be completed.  Then on to garment sewing for all you fans who are merely tolerating my foray into cotton rectangles.  I am actually enjoying the project, which is why I am regaling you with boring photographs of little strips of fabric. 

I am much to easily pleased.  If it requires a sewing machine and an iron I am more than likely happy, no matter how mundane the task.
