Sewing & Inspiration

My mom has so many patterns and a lot of them are for little girls, so I took that pattern that I posted about the other day and I modified it into a shirt for me!!  I think it turned out ok...and by ok I mean I want to make some changes to the design, but it's wearable :)  With each thing I sew, I'm definitely feeling more confident.  I actually sewed the whole shirt without my mom even being there!!  She just gave me verbal directions (and then wrote them down in case I forgot) and I did it ALL BY MYSELF.

I'm linking up again with Gussy Sews Inspiration Workshop.  And this week the prompt was:  Your Inspiration.  So, the prompt I chose for this week is Sewing.  Oh yes, surprise surprise...since I am doing this challenge right now!  But really, this sewing challenge has been stretching me and inspiring me and encouraging me to be more creative.  I really didn't think I had it in me, but I do.  I DO!!!  I'm excited that even when my projects don't turn out exactly the way I had hoped, I'm still wanting to get in there and sew again.

If there's something that you've been wanting to try, I encourage you to jump in and DO IT!!  If you are anything like me, you have all kinds of "silly" reasons excuses why you just can't do it right now, but it's time to ignore the doubt in your head....  It's worth a try and more than likely you'll end up challenging yourself and learning something new just like I am.  It is a great thing to be able to make something with your own hands!
