This week Niki (Seaplane's new buyer) and I have gone back and forth between Seaplane and Fashion Design Camp. I think I can speak for both of us when I say- I wish I was 9 again. It's so amazing to hear these kids talk about fashion, and how at 8 years old some of them have already made clothing for their friends and dolls.
Yesterday both Niki and I taught our classes -Silkscreening and Knitting. I was a little worried about teaching 45 kids at one time, knowing knitting is a whole different ballgame than sewing- It's truely a labor of love, but those girls hung in there! I was so relieved to hear some little voices telling eachother "I love knitting!"
Please come to the Fashion Design Camp Fashion Show Friday night -and see what these brilliant little ladies have created! I can't wait!!!

Personally, I couldn't be happier for Leanne Marshall! She is hands down one of my most favorite designers at Seaplane. As soon as we get one of her deliveries, her pieces fly out of the door. I am simultaneously thrilled for her and completely jealous of the person who gets to take home one of her dresses!
Congratulations to Leanne from Seaplane. We love love love your work, and will be rooting for you -along with the rest of Portland's fashion community! I will be making a weekly commitment to being somewhere with cable! PerhapsThe Tanker (4825 SE Hawthorne) at 9pm!
