King Solomon said, There is nothing new under the heavens. When it comes to fashion, he seems to be right on. A close look at the current fashions, reveals that designers resurrect features, styles, and trends of the past. They pick and choose to create new twists and turns to create fresh fashion styles. What stops you from doing the same thing? Nothing. You too can pick and choose from thousands of patterns to create your own fresh styles.
Determine the neatest, newest, most exciting styles of the new fashion look. Then consider what kinds of sewing projects could you envision?
If you are fearful that your projects might not turn out just right, there are several practical solutions. There are hundreds of patterns produced by the pattern houses like Vogue, Simplicity, and McCalls. You can always use parts of old patterns to make new applications. There is also, design software available including Dressmaker and My Design. To gain more confidence, enroll in a class on fitting or even pattern design.
You might consider projects like: a slim skirt, great fitting slacks, fitted jacket, wide belt, shaped t-shirts, wrapped blouses and dresses, denim projects, and all kinds of embellished projects.
Consider all the possibilities. They are endless. You can start from scratch or take a ready to wear item and convert it to something amazing. Remember, the projects you sew can produce you own distinctive fashion statement.
Maybe you are one of those sewers who like short cuts. Instead of worrying about designing your own pattern, laying it out, cutting it out, sewing, and fitting; you might take advantage of the ready to wear world. Find simple even plain ready to wear items, and transform them with your own special flare. Embellish with embroidery, metallic embellishments, add ons (like pockets), sparkles. What you can imagine you can achieve.
You might also consider creating your own fashion style by recycling items already in your closet. Do some minor alterations. Embellish. Rework. Be creative. Your friends will be amazed. You will be the envy of your own fashion world.
Color is always important. The current trends may include grey, black, and red, but you can develop your own accents and combinations for your own special style.
For me, sewing offers me my own little world. When I sew, if feel relaxed and at peace. I get so many creative ideas, I run out of time. Nothing makes me feel better than to have people complement my sewing. When it comes to fashion, I am in charge. I can create my own styles using the colors, textures, and designs I prefer. Sewing is a wonderful experience.
My daughter and I were at Dillards, and we found this simple little skirt, nothing special. I lifted the price tag and was stunned - $220. After recovering for a moment, I looked a little closer, and thought to myself. I could do that. I could do that for a fourth of the price. And I did. But mine was better.
Unlike the cast iron workhorses of ages past, the modern sewing machine is fun and easy to use. It has so many convenience features and sews so smoothly, that sewing our own styles is a pleasure. The satisfaction we gain cannot be measured. The supports and resources available to help us create and produce our own styles make it easier than ever. So, lets do it. Lets create. Lets sew our own styles. - 15359
