Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Altered Couture
| Location: Expo Green |
My line of Altered Couture, a style of design that embellishes existing garments and accessories, represents outfits that have been coordinated using fabrics and paints. Outfits begin with an item of clothing or an accessory, and evolve until an entire ensemble has been created that is as unique as the wearer of the outfit.

About the Maker(s)
Darcy Fowkes
[
Darcy has been sewing for forty years, and has made her own patterns for over twenty. She is attracted to Altered Couture because it's faster and cheaper than making clothing or accessories from scratch. "I really like to know that I can finish a project in a few hours from start to finish, and that when I am done, it will not only fit, it will look better than it did when I started."
Darcy is a board member of the Peninsula Wearable Arts Group, and volunteers at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. She lives in Los Altos and can be reached at 650 966 1776.
