Shanna@ Celebrate the madness
Q: when did you first start sewing?
A: I began sewing in 2003. I was pregnant with my first daughter and wanted to make her stuff. I was probably just suffering from a extreme case of nesting along with my father’s tendancy to be “frugal”. In any case, it was very short lived and I did not make anything more challenging than a pillowcase until 2008.
Q: What is one sewing tool you can not live without?
A: I would say, hands down a seam ripper. Not the little one that comes with your machine either, a serious heavy duty one, both for mistakes, as well as taking apart other garments to create a pattern or up-cycle.
Q: What inspires you the most?
A: I am inspired by several great designers. I always look for inspiration from various shows whether it be Paris, Milan, or Mercedes Benz Fashion week. I was a huge fan of the late Alexander McQueen, and Versace. I like to adapt their avante garde pieces into wearable everyday clothing for my high fashion toddlers.
Q: What was your favorite challenge/design from Project Toddler Runway? A: It would have to be from the hair piece challenge as well. I just adored the little leggings, and the linen top.
Q: Which design from another designer was your favorite?
A: I loved the Garden Party ensemble for the hair piece challenge. It is definitely on my to do list when we are done with this crazy ride! I think the pictures did not go it justice, you could not really make out the tulle she had overlaid on each layer of the skirt!
Q: If your life were a TV sitcom what sitcom would it most be like, and why?
A: I honestly do not get to watch very much tv. But if I had to name one, my husband and I always get a huge laugh out of King of Queens, their fun relationship is very similar to ours, there is never a dull moment in our house! I am definitely the bossy one and he is the carefree one.
Q: If you could have one super power ability what would it be and why?
A: I would love to have power over time. If it was to speed up time through the dull moments, or to slow it down when I have a lot of things to finish with very little time. I think that it would be the most useful to me
