Wow! You nailed it, Bill, and I love your fashion sense!! Those shorts are bound to be a winner. Seriously great collage work. You are a legend - and thanks for not being put off by the challenge. I remember a much older brother who was a jack-of-all-trades. He would try anything. Even though he was the blokiest bloke of all time necessity and lack of funds caused him to take up sewing in a big way as a young married man, still trying to complete his education. His wife couldn't thread a needle but he made curtains for their house and even clothes for their very young children. This was in a time when men didn't do those things but it didn't bother him at all.

This is really cool!
Lately I've been drawing little faces on used up spools of thread ala' Robert Crumb. Fun stuff.

Hey, are you keeping secrets? I didn't know you could SEW!!! You are FULL of surprises. Or something else!

I DO like the collage, tho.

Well done Bill!
I'm surprised by your work;
despite the man model, this image seems a bit feminine... No?
Have you some feminine sensibility?
But, anyway, sexist prejudices must be far away from us now.
Very nice entry Bill!

This is wonderful. I love how you've done the "male model" and the sequins in the background really jazz it up!
