look at us pics and junk watcha need? dude we're famous buy the t-shirt give us a shout find us on: look at us Terry Edward Briceland My love of Fashion and Interior Design developed at a young age. I have been grinding away at this for over 15 years now and must be doing OK for myself cuz I have been afforded the opportunities to showcase my work on several design shows such as 'Take This House And Sell It!’, ‘Rooms That Rock’, ‘Design Interns’, ‘Disaster D.I.Y.’, ‘Movie Style’ and most recently ‘Divine Design’. Some of my stuff has also been in Home Décor magazines like ‘House and Home’ and ‘Style At Home’ with an actual 3 page interview in ‘Sew News Magazine’ where I revealed that I sew in my underwear while listening to loud music. Me and my big mouth. I fell into sewing by accident to be honest, I had these old dining room chairs that were way too 80’s looking for me so decided to slip cover them. I had a sewing machine in storage that I had received probably 10 years prior to this but had never used. So I got it out, dusted it off and whipped up some slip covers. For some reason it was easy and I really actually enjoyed doing it. So from there I forced my friends to let me make curtains and other fabricy things for their places free of charge. Some looked wicked and some…..meh…would rather not ever see those again. One of these friends just happened to need an on camera sewer for a television pilot called ‘Designed to Sell’ which later changed its title to ‘Take This House And Sell It!’ and it all just snowballed from there. Don’t get me wrong, it was frickin hard work and lots of hair pulling, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. But I wouldn’t do it again either. LOL If I am not in front of the camera or sewing machine, I love riding my motorcycle, watching obscene amounts of T.V., Tattoos and spending time with my daughter, Bryce, who is starting to share her Dad’s love for sewing. *giggle* Don’t let my gruff, ruff and tumble exterior fool you, I may be covered in tattoos and facial hair but my sense of style is very fresh, clean and modern with a touch of Rock n’ Roll and sparkle for that perfect bit of edge and flair. And I smell good too. *wink* Matthew Garnet Adams I like long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners...oh wait...wrong kind of profile. Right! So how did I get here? Well, I don't have as illustrious a past as one Terry Edward Briceland, but here goes. My first sewing experience wasn't particularly memorable. It was a grade 8 Home Economics assignment, a quilted pillow. It wasn't until a year later that I found what I was looking for. Boxer shorts. One of a kind boxers to wear while playing basketball. I was going to change the world, and I’d like to think in some small way I did. You’re welcome. But seriously, I wanted to be original, unique, but in a good way. As a boy my mom would take me to fabric stores when she was getting things for her own projects, so when I wanted to make my own boxers I knew where to go and what I needed (thanks mom). They turned out great! So great in fact, that people would steal them, well one person stole one pair. They were my favorite pair, all the Winnie the Pooh characters were on them. I went down for rowing practice and took them off when I got in the boat. I left them on the dock on top of my sandals and as I rowed away little did I know that, that would be the last time I saw them. They were gone when I got back. Shame on you, yeah, you know who you are. From my boxer shorts beginning my sewing skills developed as my need for one of a kindedness (it's a word I swear) grew. Super hero rowing suits, to dress shirts, to quilts, to three piece suits, to dresses, and on to home decor when I finally moved out of my mom’s house (thanks again mom). Besides my sewing education I did manage to get an academic one as well. Turns out I was pretty good at rowing which led me state side for my post secondary education. I attended Princeton University and after six years (shut it, lots of people go to university for six years…lots!) graduated. I know what you’re thinking, “I didn’t think Princeton had a sewing program”. They don’t, it’s just a certificate program (not really). I majored in economics and after graduating decided to use my degree in less traditional ways. When I’m not sewing I enjoy sports and working out, mostly so I can enjoy the chips and the ice cream and the desserts.
