I applaud you. With your skills you can go in any direction - gourmet sewing for the little prince, some tailored winter coats, and so much more. I wish you the best on your journey and will be here to egg you on. I knew this coming. You just love to sew too much for it not to.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-78881499221621213082010-06-02T18:06:51.363-04:002010-06-02T18:06:51.363-04:00I started sewing outside my comfort zone for SWAP ...I started sewing outside my comfort zone for SWAP and I think it has really freed my mind. Now I find interest in patterns that I had previously dismissed for one reason or another. I'm making things that I never would have made a year ago.

You've got a lot of clothing so it's not like if you don't complete the number of garments you'd planned will mean you don't have anything to wear! Art school taught me that process is just as important as the product. I can see it getting those creative juices flowing and who knows, you might find some new silhouettes you like even better than your tnt patterns.
