I often wonder how I've turned out the way I have and why I learn a craft, get bored after i've mastered it and move onto the next adventure! And sewing?? Well, I never knew I knew how to do that either! Until I dated a guy that taught me basic sewing machine techniques and I made my neice her first Halloween costume (Tinkerbell). And then moved onto Window treatments such as simple drapes, valances and unbelieveably, Roman shades! My first roman shade was a basic panel with the edges hemmed and the rods were glue gunned on the back, cuz I didn't have a clue and then ran the draw strings through eyelets on the back! Then my ex's mom made a real one and I studied it and before I knew it, I was doing them for friends. Then, one year my friends were planning to get married in Aruba. I couldn't find what I wanted to wear. So I got frustrated and decided to make it myself. Of course, as usual, I picked the most difficult style to create. I picked two fabrics. A base cream colored fabric and a gold and beige netted material for over the cream fabric. Ughh...I turned a favorite pair of flare dress pants inside out and followed the pattern and tried it on my model(me) as i was sewing it. And then the top of the outfit came off the top of my head. No pattern. I still wear the pants from time to time to weddings. Can't quite find an appropriate top to match them, since the original top is a triangular tie back shirt, created for the beach only, and quite innappropriate for a formal wedding. Perhaps I will make another! I'm excited for the winter to come so I can decorate my own house with roman shades everywhere! See my Facebook pics under "Things I've made". I will post the pics of my sewing.Anita Caldwell Schmitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669784103242114412.post-16145275406027357772009-09-14T07:47:03.315-07:002009-09-14T07:47:03.315-07:00Very interesting!

I love to make gifts for others.<br />As you said, it's a creative process, and how do you put a price on that? \<br />Thanks for sharing.LINDA BYLSMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856760752277241966noreply@blogger.com
