First, let me say that I don’t sew. EVER. I suck at sewing — loudly. So, I accept that this is not one of my talents. I embrace it. Heck, I don’t even sew on buttons when I can help it. (When a button flies off, I consider it a divine indication that I need to donate said item to Goodwill). I know, I know, I’m thrifty in so many ways… this just isn’t one of them.
Secondly, let me admit that I love to see the creations of those who make art with fabric. I admire textile gurus. With that said, I tripped across this today, and thought I’d share.
At this time of the year (one of my favorite holidays) I thought others may be interested in seeing how really awesome costumes (albeit for the stage) are constructed.
GCAR is a trade association resulting from the merger of two individual associations: The Albany County and the Rensselaer County Boards of Realtors. The merger occurred in 1992, but the two associations themselves dated back to the 1920s. This association of 3200 members gives annual awards including community service, unique transaction, and committee recognition awards. The two primary awards are the Realtor of the Year and the Ralph P. Dupont Award for community service.
