I’m so excited, I have been sewing all afternoon, my tote is now a bag! It’s coming together! I’m loving it so much, the process of troubleshooting design ideas, because I lack either the knowledge, or the skill, sometimes both. But I’m figuring it out one challenge at a time. I’m already thinking about my next project hanging in my closet!! I feel like I’m coming alive, waking from a long slumber, until now, as I am typing this journal entry. This creative dive into upcycling my clothes has been so rewarding. Finding this piece of me is priceless, thank you from my grateful heart!
