Since I was very young, I've loved designing and making clothes. In school I would doodle fashion designs on my papers all the time. Luckily, my mom signed us up for 4H and I learned sewing. I made a lot of my clothes until Jr High, when it became "uncool". By college, I was sewing again. I entered a couple of fashion shows that were sponsored by the school fashion department, even winning one of them! But I was an art major, and the fashion industry was not my style, so to speak, and I let it go.
These days, technology and online selling has allowed for various aesthetics and lifestyles to prevail in the fashion world, so there is hope for my fashion career yet... and Spring Sew Camp helped energize that dream again!
Yay, continued fun! Speaking of fun, share with us your perfect day.
Wake up, make a hot breakfast for everyone in the family and while it cooks, I read blogs. Then we eat and start the day together. Scott goes to his office in the backyard to work and Lukas draws while I get ready for the day. Around 10, L and I go on a walk downtown for coffee (real backwoods of us!) and play with whomever we see downtown. Then home to make lunch, eat together as a family again, then more drawing time and mama has a nap or reading time for 20 minutes. Then some afternoon gardening or a creative indoor activity (or a babysitter arrives and I can do a more intense creative activity, like adult clothing sewing...) Then, make dinner, eat together, bath, bed for the little guy and a long bath for mama once he's asleep, then one or two of the following: blogging, writing, reading, movies, creative time time with Scott and another day is over!
