To be honest, I have no idea what to wear in Madagascar, and this title may need to be changed to "what NOT to wear in Madagascar" in a few months. We will have to wait and see. My 22 year old daughter, Alyssa, left for the Peace Corps this week, and she will be stationed in Madagascar for the next 2 years and 3 months. Yes, you read that right- TWO YEARS and three months!!! We are very proud of her for wanting to help make the world a better place, and for being fearless in doing so, but it will be a looooong time for Mama and Papa back home. Not knowing anything about Madagascar, the first step in figuring out what to pack was to figure out the weather and the cultural norms. Madagascar is a very large island off the southeastern coast of Africa.

Ann's Sewing Experiments
Hey, I get to go first! I really like the marker scribble heart (your original) - it's modern and fresh.

The change could be a good thing - or not. Perhaps just updating the present would be best.
ReplyDeleteBefore I saw this post I'd already thought about this.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was getting one of your patterns out to work on and as I looked at it I found myself looking at the logo. I thought it's so simple yet appealing and sophisicated in its simplicity with the scribble heart. The heart works with "baby" and "sew" tells me its about sewing. I wouldn't change it.
The middle two with the flowers don't work for me because I "see" floral and my brain wonders what does that have to do with Sew Baby? The last one's ok but too cutesy for me. Plus the sewing graphic I think is kinda ho-hum typical.

Of these choices, I like the 4th design but prefer the colors of #2, so i can't vote in the poll.
