One thing I seldom do anymore is have the time to create a project that is just for me. I am always creating but generally it is commissions for other people or painting lessons for classes or Paint Parties. This past week I spent two glorious mornings working on something for me!
My friend, Sandra, who is an amazing seamstress and fabric artist, met me at The Studio for a couple of mornings of sewing and gabbing. We had soooo much fun! And we made super cute jackets with lovely embellishment. I had found this McCall’s pattern not long ago and wanted to try it and when I mentioned it to Sandra she was all in. It is made by using two sweatshirts! But of course, the embellishment is what makes it so personal. I am sure you are not surprised to see a dog on mine. (I will try to get a photo of Sandra’s to post soon. Her’s has a Paris theme.)
What fun it is to make something while chatting with someone who has similar interests. The time just flew by. And it was such a delight that we decided we need to do it more so we will hopefully do something else next week. 🙂
