The Rack 2: Mismatched Flowers

One thing that I'd always wondered about is why suspenders - which have two straps - usually have two matching straps. It seems like you could double your suspenders styles simply by having two different patterns or colours on your suspenders - one on each strap. And now that I was making my own, I figured I could finally give that a try. So, when I came across, while digging in a must-proof bin from a friend's basement, two pieces of fabric that had similar patterns and yet were somehow different colours, I realized that I had a unique opportunity on my hands. I could make matching straps that weren't the same colour, thus appealing to everybody. EVERYBODY!

So I came up with this:

Mismatched flowers - September, 2009

Yellow and Black! . . . which I just realized are my high school colours. Go FHS! Yay!
