Young Blood

Also here is my FAVORITE song.
Perfect summer tune.

sewing

I have finally gotten back into the swing of things with my thread and needle, rulers and fractions, drawings and sharpies. I am finally falling back in love with fashion design and sewing. It only took me 4 years, but I am now there. Of course right around the time that I have been accepted to go back to school in a completely different direction; education! And I am equally excited about that as well. Oh how my little heart is torn between these two career paths. But I have hope. I will make them both work. I mean I do have four months off of school for the next three years. Thats some sewing time right there. Enough to even make a fall collection :)
I have actually graded (successfully) a pattern for the first time. I am now making normal sizes for the every day woman. My pattern making teacher would be so proud. I often think of exactly what she would be telling me, "Marie-Claude, why didn't you just take 1/2" here instead, don't make this so complicated on yourself....." I am excited to be venturing into this new and exciting challenge I have made for myself. I will keep you all posted on my progress and of course pictures will also fallow.


In the meantime heres a cute necklace from JustJaynes
