I don’t like rules
Just a thought, an image
Envision possibility
Approach with wonder and enthusiasm
Enjoy the process, outcomes are inevitable
Peel through fabric pieces, letting colors and textures call out
Consider all roads
Cut cloth to shape
Sculpt life to suit
Use folds for the bottom due to my skill level
Choose carefully which mountain to climb, which battle to pick
Stitch the sides, inside out
Nurture the parts
Leave a large flap of material for the top & front
Allow self room to grow
Select three fabrics, forms and notions
Simple, clean life
Add a button for decoration, not functionality
Allow for opportunity instead of closure
Examine from all angles before binding the strap
Is the foundation sturdy enough?
A bit flimsy but suited to the purposes of an art bag for my daughter
A lesson in building a solid base of support
Enhance with a hand-sewn fabric flower
Sprinkle with whimsy
(don't judge the sewing - I just started teaching myself in November:) Also, many thanks to Shona @ An Artful Life for her inspiration & tutorials ~ fabric flowers being one of many!)
