The idea for patchworking bike shorts came after this, when i found myself unable to financially pay for more of my art printed fabrics because i had no money, i decided to sew together all the left over scraps i had from cutting up previous designs. Whether it was scraps from making tops, shorts, straps, dresses, whatever, i always save my left over material and put it aside for this reason. Nothing goes unused.
I have had off and on odd jobs, having to wear white or black button downs to look professional in the workplace, and there’s something invigorating about taking something that is meant to keep us looking clean, neat, uniform, and professional and throwing all of that out the window to be our own unique person.
Imaginative and creativity come from the constant flow of thoughts and ideas which, in Katelyn’s opinion, are better when they are left in the raw, unedited form, and in the case of fashion, in the imperfectly perfect scraps that are otherwise thrown in the garbage.
