Wow, that's positively inspiring. I have been awfully intimidated by those mariner stars. I've looked longingly at them and enviously at others' works, but never tried it.
And this is the guy's first try? If he can do it, surely I can!
It's beautiful. I can see how the men might be attracted to that design. I'm thinking they may have "geometric" leaning perception and might find complex geometric designs appealing.
My dad comes in and always examines the stuff we make. I sew with my mom. It's no fun to sit and sew at home by myself. He likes to sit with graph paper and design geometric blocks and then he wants us to sew them together to see how they look.
I don't think he's interested in sewing, but he's very interested in the stuff we turn out.
