one day might be today!

My mom is a dream at the sewing machine. I remember late nights hearing the whir of the machine going while she was stitching away creating something magical for us. ..and I thought: one day I'll do that!

My sister followed in her shoes & sews up pillows, costumes, & all sorts of wonderful snippets!
again...hmm...one day I might be able to do that.

My youngest sister is just plain a*mazing in everything she does...she's our stylist. So she calls the shots & tells us what fabric, textures, colors, clothes, home accessories, etc. will look best & we just do what she says...she has SUCH an 'eye'. and, yet again: one day, I want to do that.

Well, I've discovered that every person has their own recipe of becoming who we are...but, we need to try. And as we try new things, we discover the special ingredients to our own recipe.

Lately, I've discovered a new ingredient in my own recipe...not in the same ways as my mom & sisters, but in my own lil' way. I'm not a typical seamstress, and that's OK>

This new ingredient is: Printable Fabric. It enables me to play with fabric in my own way.... & my love for printing out my designs on printable fabric & playing with it is exciting to me. I've dabbled in making rolled fabric flowers & my latest love: these House of 3 Spring Junque Fabric banners!

*gasp*


I printed them off on a really cool canvas printable fabric & then cut them out with pinking shears...sewed them onto this bias tape & voila! I'm a happy girl who feels like this is the day that fabric & I are friends! LOL!....
so, don't judge me.

...just let me be happy with my small accomplishments in my adventures in fabric! Today is the day! for YOU! Try something NEW. Something that might be a different spin on they typical way of doing it. Create your own recipe for becoming who you are doing something different!
and...enjoy your pRocess!
