Do it yourself.

Am I the only person who wishes they could make clothes? There's a sewing machine just sitting in our spare room and I look online and get so inspired by clothing which I have no access to or I can't afford and I just want to create it myself. 
I go through creative phases where I want to make or create things for myself, as a hobby or perhaps if they turned out well, to create a little shop to sell them in. I have all these ideas stored up inside my head (and on my external brain which also goes by the name, Tumblr) and everyday I wake up just looking forward to the day I have the finances to get going. Does anybody else have these feelings or the enthusiasm to do such things?
Sometimes I think I could implode with the amount of creative ideas that fly around in my mind.
On a side note, I think I've gone print crazy as of late and wild on socks with shoes. Socks and shoes isn't anything new but for me, it's kind of a big deal. Ever since I can remember, I have never been able to wear socks because I have a strange thing about how it makes my feet feel trapped. Now I am of a mature age I have decided to embrace this collaboration of S's and get my feet looking cute.

    1. I know I always think that, I just want to give it a go. Start simple and use some patterns and see how it goes.

    1. I did too! It was hard but I am hoping 7 years later, I may be better. Start simple I say.

  3. I remember trying to sew a top I had cooked up in my head and failed gloriously at it. I was absolute garbage. On a happier note, I'm loving prints as well! They're my favorite thing to look out for when I go shop... they look so good with just about anything and there are so many kinds that you could possibly wear a new one each day and never repeat... ever. Lovely post! xo, Megs
