Part 1: Bumpkin Philosophy

a bumpkin is a deconstruction and reconstruction of your material reality.

What you need to make a bumpkin:

  1. Sewing skills & a respect for the craft

  2. Basic pattern drafting & draping knowledge helps

  3. A button up shirt you would like to deconstruct and reconstruct

  4. A metaphor for what you will be deconstructing and reconstructing

  5. Measurements for the person who will be wearing the bumpkin

  6. Donation to Baily Rose for sharing this: @baily-rose on venmo, or give her cash when you see her next

  7. The time, space, and notions to accomplish all of the above
