From our spotlight on Kay Whitt last fall, in issue #138:
Kay Whitt has used patterns for most of her life and is well aware of the aggravation that can come with them, not the least of which is vague, confusing instructions. So for her Boutique Chic line at Serendipity Studio, the bottom line is "user-friendly." Kay's genius with fabric and fresh, contemporary designs will inspire you to turn her solid, simple lines into really great go-to clothes. Here's a look at her take on fall.
