A new passion: fabric

I am finding a new art passion - working with fabrics to make things. No doubt many have found this passion in one form or another for centuries, but I am now on to this in my own way.

Was I encouraged by watching Project Runway? Yes! The talented designer-cast members are exceptional to start with, and watching them design, select fabric and then create clothing has been fun and inspiring. I am now a regular at fabric stores, browsing every isle for wonder patterns and fabrics to jump out. I have started with making handbags, the easiest kind!

I will collect my photos of these - taken with my phone, so we will see if they look decent.
