It is a collection of short stories, photographs and illustrations created and designed by Portlanders about Portland. I was lucky enough to be paired with a local artist named Kerri Jones. Her story is about the local fabric industry. You can check out her amazing mosaics made of fabric at remnantWorks.
I was inspired to design her page based on old pattern packages. It seemed fitting to represent generations of women who have influenced Kerri's work. In her story she describes what it was like as a child watching her grandmother sew.
Below are a few designs that I scanned from a friend of mine's vintage pattern collection.
Below is the final page for Our Portland Story.
