I have all these design ideas floating around in my head, and I’m anxious to get them on paper, and finally on fabric. I’m branching out my skills. I began sewing to make raver pants and raver pants alone. Hot Topic carried them for awhile, but they slowing began to disappear. Instead all Hot Topic had to offer me was black, black, and more black. I need some color in my life! For the longest time I focused all my attention onto pants, which was great for what I wanted to do, but now I’m ready for more! 

I would love to make a business out of my hobby, and I don’t think I’ll be too successful making just raver pants. So I began making messenger bags, and now I’m about to tackle the world of accessories. Belts, scarves, purses, wallets, you name it I’m going to make it. Amy Butler and Heather Bailey have great selections of fabric that I know will work (and eventually) sell very well. My job even sponsors craft fairs (surprisingly I work at a health insurance company) and I think the next one they have I’ll have to take part in. Totally excited!!!! I’ll sketch everything out (to the best of my abilities, I’m not the best drawer in the world) tonight! What I can’t draw, and for further designs I’ll ask my boyfriend’s sister to help me out. 

This weekend is a sewing free weekend. Well…not completely, but Saturday I’m going to San Francisco with the boyfriend, best friend, and her husband-to-bed. Today I’ll be working on something for me for once. Sadly I’ve gotten too FAT for all my old pants, and in the time being have been buying pants at the mall. Sadly they don’t carry anything in my style (hence why I began sewing) so I need to sew something for myself. After I make a pair of pants I’ll start my cycle all over again. Sew something for Josie (still owe her an outfit), sew something for Alyssa, sew something for me, sew something for someone else, sew something for Alyssa. Lather, rinse, repeat. 

Now, back to my Pride and Prejudice watching, work avoid ways. =]
