Create Something: Week 2: Sewing Patterns


Tis week two, and I am a day late with this post.
Who cares! :)
I really had to stop and think what I created this week. Though the past week was extremely busy I feel as though I did not “create” much.
But though it may seem as though I didn’t, I really did.
Spent A LOT of time hovering over sewing patterns.
I’m reading the book Little Green Dresses, and it covers how to make your own patterns. 
Little Green Dresses: 50 Original Patterns for Repurposed Dresses, Tops, Skirts, and More
The book is loaded with AWESOME, FUN patterns … but you have to draw them out yourself using your own measurements.
So it has been a TEDIOUS process. But I have learned SO MUCH.
Pattern making 101: can I cry now?
So these patterns have been my BIGGEST creation. And can I say ULTIMATE creation that will make lots of baby creations! Oh la la.
 You can always dig through my blog/tumblr/twitter to find out all the other shinanigans I’ve been up to :)

Create Something Project : Week One

I've only been home 2 hours from the 8 hour road trip home from a weekend in Lake Tahoe and I've stumbled across something.
Just the "SOMETHING" part of that intrigues me. Because I know that everyone out there looks at the crap I'm making, or workouts (I do or DONT get in) and thinks "I dont have time" or "I cant CREATE ANYTHING!". 
With the PROJECT there are no limits. You could create an IDEA, and it still amounts to something you have ACCOMPLISHED.
So since I found this, Ive been staring at into space thinking "What the heck can I make at this moment to become apart of this project? I'm exhausted and cant possible CREATE a paper airplane right now!". So I read through some of the posts of the ladies that are participating in this project, and all of what they did was so simple, and were just things that they did today.
So I thought "What have I done today?"
A LOT.
So I cruised over to my TUMBLR page and saw this...


Its like a little scrapbook page! All day(weekend) I have been posting pictures of the shinanagans that we have been getting into. It makes me so happy to scroll through the photos. Plus the INSTAGRAM app gives it such a vintage look, that you cant help but to keep looking. 
So though I was only updating the world of my life, I really was CREATING everlasting memories that I am now sharing with you!
What have you created?
