Stitch In The City: Back To Basics

After the LOOOOOONGEST wait, we’re finally releasing Stitch In The City’s fourth batch tomorrow at 6 PM. Called “Back To Basics” because this batch is composed mostly of sleeveless collared tops and shorts, which are fundamentals in every wardrobe (we’d like to think haha). We also have tops with embellished collars, something we’ve always wanted to produce. Luckily (and coincidentally, I must say), Manang Arvee of Stitch In The City actually started out as a bead worker, so our dream of selling tops with embellished collars will finally be fulfilled tomorrow.

We’re also calling this batch “Back To Basics” because this is the first time we didn’t have a proper shoot. Because of time constraints (this batch is FOUR months late!), we couldn’t afford to lose more time by looking for a photographer, model, and HMUA, although I personally wish we had more time to do just that. Shoots have always been so much fun, plus it’s great to work with such creative people. But anyway, armed with a basic camera and basic camera-operating skills, I just took photos of the clothes, worn by sister & SITC partner Tina, set against our house’s overexposed vine wall.

Again, we’ll be uploading “Back To Basics” on our Facebook page tomorrow at 6 PM.
