It has been awhile, and now that the summer is over it's time for me to start thinking fall. I have started sewing a new dress, and have been inspired by another blogger Sew Retro Rose, I love her style and taste, she makes dressing up fun and functional not just boring or formal . I enjoy her dedication to the 1950's era, it's incredible to see how she can make these dresses look so true to it's time and yet she has a very original and unique twist to it.
Now I have been thinking hard about my sewing selection of my yester years and decided that I have to rethink how and what I sew. Allot of the garments I have constructed are no longer appeasing to me. None of them are functional and some I will never wear. I think sewing for me has changed a great deal. I need things for day to day wear and when your looking through your closet and staring at clothes that you have created and none of them will see the light of day. You need to reconsider where and what you are sewing for. I think I was sewing because it's something I wanted to learn and got excited about the idea of making something I have thought about a reality. Now that I am older and hopefully wiser Iwant my clothes to reflect my style without challenging the public eyes...lol. No seriously I want to wear what I sew...and be proud.
Don't get me wrong so far I have worn two tops to work and enjoyed the compliments. But I do want to expand my sewing horizons and really learn how to incorporate what I want with what I need.
So, to make some changes I will be working on a list on what i need and hopefully go from there.
I hope all is well in the blogging world.
