"Kayla Kennington Patterns"

Here are some simple but elegant patterns for your handmade fabrics.  Have fun.  I met Kayla several years ago when I had my shop in Sebastopol, she's responsible for sparking the ladies there into silk painting.  She has several featured articles in Threads magazine since then and is well known for her unique fashion sense.  Her patterns are quick and easy to make and fun to wear!!! Her works were featured in the famous art to wear clothing store Obiko on Union Square in San Francisco from 1986-1997. The store is closed now but lives on in memory and duly honored on this page http://www.kaylakennington.com/gallery.html
