I’m inspired by music, the 1960’s and my textile designs are specifically inspired by Peter Max, Chris Jagger and the Beatles yellow submarine.

Elyse Rainbolt

A:Rewarding: dressing myself head to toe in my own designs that I patterned, cut, sew and paint myself.
frustrating:
Internet stuff. I hate email, website etc maintenance. Im an analog hands on person and I wish I had someone to handle the Internet stuff for me. I haven’t updated my website in a year and a half and answering emails is like pulling teeth. Please don’t make me do it.

Adobe Illustrator Masterclass for Fashion Designers
Taught By Heidi B.
Online Anytime

One thing that inspires the heck out me is to see designers grow there business and take things to the next level. I first met Sew Heidi years ago when she first started out her fashion business making dresses out of vintage fabric. Now you can find her in New York City, taking her fashion experience to the next level by helping other designers grow their business. What’s even cooler is that you don’t have to fly out to NYC to take one of her classes (although that would be pretty fun!), you can take her classes in the comfort of your own home!

Sew Heidi
