Hello! I know it’s been a while, but I am back on my blog with a new topic to post about.<\/p>\n
I have a few posts that highlight my attempt to make fashion items based on stuff I’ve seen in magazines and the Internet. I wanted to flex my crafting skills and make some things for myself that I can’t afford to buy in real life. The category is Copycat Fashion and you can go here<\/strong><\/a> to check it out.<\/p>\n Anyway, part of that activity was me buying commercial patterns to sew with. I noticed that so many luxury fashion products (clothes, jewelry, purses) have basic pattern designs that I would find in Joann’s pattern section. If I’m lucky, I can get a pattern for as little as $0.99 each.<\/p>\n I have about 117 patterns total, which is a LOT of patterns. They are too easy to buy, especially when they are on sale, and they have accumulated in my space. It’s time to start using them and I thought it would be neat to document my process and give a sort of review on how well I did making the garment and if the pattern is good to use.<\/p>\n So stay tuned for my first Pattern Probe post! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello!
