Not.Quite.Right

Perfection is the devil
-Yohji Yamamoto

This quite I feel really correlates to how I work. In my first post I noted that I like to work holistically. Ever since I touched pencil to paper in my pattern making class, something was a little bit out. I find that when I work, no matter how precise I intend to be, it always comes out not quite right.

I warred with myself over this for a long time before coming to terms with the fact that my essence is a creative one. If I simply relax and allow the garment or process to form as it wills, then the end result will be one that reflects my hand in making.
