- About Me:
- Everyone/everything has FABULOUS potential. Right now, I am at a point in my life where I can devote a lot of my attention to designing/creating. Sewing is a big passions of mine, BUT, I DO NOT sew like my dear mama taught me!! Reconstruction/upcycling is my game. My idea of a great fabric store is NOT the JoAnnes or Hobby Lobby, but the thrift stores!! The potential "fabric" that can be "had" there is amazing!! When I look at a particular clothing item I try to imagine all the possible "other lifes" it has.......could I use the buttons on a skirt I have at home in the works just waiting for that perfect embellishment?... or maybe I could cut the sleeves off and open them up and make a "twirly" skirt!!... Or is it that , I just absolutely HAVE to have that item of "clothing-fabric" cause I LUV it for some reason or another. I have LOTS of "clothing-fabric" that falls under that category!! I used to think my mama was CRAZY when she had boxes and boxes of "real" fabric that she had bought in the past thinking she would make something out of it someday.......Well, I have discovered that you can NEVER have too many someday projects!! In that respect I HAVE turned into my mother!!
When I get involved in creating a piece I get so caught up in the excitement of "how will this turn out?" Most of the time I never know exactly how a piece will turn out 'cause I change my mind so much....What ever strikes my fancy at the time goes into a pile on the cutting table and I start mixing things up and go from there. It is such fun for me to "hole up" down in my sewing room and not come out till I have several pieces made!!
