Strangely enough, I am trying to get a bit of a shopping-detox at the moment. So I caught myself digging for fabrics at my favourite discount shop, hoping to get into some sort of constructive DIY activity to cover my consumer needs. Still, I get the impression that for once again I have ended up with meters of fabrics that I won't be using, at least for a while, but I seem to get this thrill, the thrill of shopping - even though at a smaller, less body-shivering degree - by the idea that I will be making something to wear.
Still my first real design project, that was actually a customizing one, did not go so well. I got this old white linen top of mine and thought I would change the bust and sew some satin fabric in a different design to make it longer and looser for that oversized look. Apparently, linen and satin do not work so well together and the project was marked a failure. So now I have got all these bags overflowing with fabrics yet no sewing projects on the pipeline. Fanny, my teacher says that's how she started, collecting fabrics, and that I should do loads of designing practice before I actually cut up things so this is quite encouraging. Hm..maybe on second thoughts I should sew back the linen top and add a satin flower detail right in the middle..Let the weekend come for more DIY activity.
It does look girlie and sweet with the satin flower applied.
Keep up the good work!
