Open up your favorite fashion magazine like Vogue or others, and take a good look. The fashion gurus are constantly reinventing, repackaging, and redefining the newest fashions. While it can be a challenge to keep up with all the changes, it can also be exciting and glamorous.
Even more incredible than seeing the newest styles, is making them. That is right. Those of us who sew have a unique opportunity to make our own exciting fashion statement. When we something we like, we can imitate it. When we get a flash of genius, all we have to do is enter our creative wonderland and sew together what we imagine. We can construct our own styles the way we want them. We can express ourselves in ways others can only wish.
Fashion and change appear to go hand in hand. Just about the time you get comfortable with the most current styles, they change. Trends come and go so fast it is really hard to keep up to date. Just as the new pops up, the current styles fade away.
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?
Be bold. Be confident. The possibilities are within your grasp. You can always buy a new pattern, use an older pattern, or take a class in doing your own pattern design. There is software available to help you design your personalized patterns including Dressmaker or My Design.
Just imagine all the fashion ingredients you could generate from your own sewing room. If you see something intriguing in a magazine, sew it up yourself. You are limited only by your minds eye. You can take standard items and make minor changes to create brand new effects. Change a collar, a sleeve, a cuff, or embellish with embroidery or appliqu. You could make your own glamour dress, jacket, suit, blouse, or accessory.
You may not be a famous French fashion designer, but you could create your own exciting fashion styles. Think of all the different things you could make. The possibilities are endless. You can start from scratch. You could imitate something you see. You could take a stock item and embellish it. The new fashion styles can be what you make them.
Do you like doing things from scratch? Or do you prefer quick and easy enhancements to standard items? The choice is yours. You could create your own patterns or buy a pattern. You could select the fabrics and layout the project from scratch, or you could take a ready to wear item and transform it. Today you have so many options. You have all kinds of tools and materials available. Decorative threads, sparkles, appliqu, embroidery, and much more are available for you to use.
Sometimes the newest fashions, can be made by recycling stuff already in the closet. By making some alterations, adding some distinctive embellishment, or just using the item in a fresh new way; we produce our new style. It is so exciting when friends respond, Wow, how much did that cost? It is so much fun being the envy of my friends.
What about color? The department stores cycle through different colors and styles based on what they think will sell. One year I wanted to buy a light green dress, but found the stores were in a blue cycle. There were no green dresses. But, I sew. So, I quickly put together my own fashion green. Now I didnt, but I could have even died my own fabric if I had wanted to. Color make a big difference. A touch here or there changes everything.
If you sew, you understand the thrill that comes from creating your own beautiful item. You can appreciate the joys, relaxation, and peace that sewing provides. Knowing that you can create your own fashions gives you control over your life non sewers can only dream about. Sewing offers so many benefits it is hard to think of them all.
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. - 16955
