New Craft Collection Project AND Wow, I love hand sewing!

I got this idea for a new craft that's fashion related and will "promote" my clothing designs with actual fabric sewn sort of flat onto a fabric canvas back - as art. Like fabric design sketch art.

So I'm not ready to show any previews yet but I'm loving it so lots will come, and I'm thinking this is one good direction to go in. (While I am slower at other [slow anyway] creating while I'm still moving in with my boyfriend.)

One thing I'm loving is the hand sewing. I used to find it too slow, but now I'm finding it lacks the stress of the speed and frequency of "flub ups" and re-dos that machine sewing has. I seem to find I can sew smoothly a ton, but then hit all my snags one after the other, and then I get this fear and hesitation.

With these small items, like the size of sketches, I'm so far not minding the slow speed of hand sewing and I quite like the lower amount of risk.

But best of all, I think I'm doing a great job of making little sort-of 3D haute art couture! I'm totally recognizing this jacket that is my first project - as - du-du-duhhh - a jacket! He he.

Weee.

Although, snag alert, I've broken and lost my last needle threader. Michael's trip tomorrow? Yeah.

I'm never perfect. ;-)
