I think I could make that...
#31
I never took a home ec class and all my quilting is self taught. I took one basic class when I first started and it was more on basic machine work than actual quilt work.
I've seen so many online patterns or have gone to craft shows and said "I wish I could make something like that". Craftybear posted another awesome link and I took one look at the tank top and swore I could make that! I'm buying the fabric this weekend and hoping to give making clothes for the first time a shot! I totally understand what you mean!
I haven't made any bags yet....don't really have the confidence yet.
I love what dorian's momma wrote...I do take pics of bathroom floors and think they could make great quiting motifs!!

I can't read any more.
Casual Reading (30's mystery/romance) has always been my refuge.
Takes me forever to finish a chapter, now.
My mind wanders, I grab a pc of paper & start doodling a quilt design layout, or fabric/pattern combinations. or... or... or...
obsession is more than a fragrance. :mrgreen: :shock: 8-)

ROFL. I know what you mean. I am not a sewer per se, but just last week or so have made some little totes and am having a ball. Go for it! You won't look back; however, let me know what you are doing with all those totes. I keep making them, but don't know what to do with them now (laughter). Don't sell items, but there are only so many friends.............

I was once never much of a person who liked to sew, but, I have made, curtains for the whole house, a bag that holds diapers (hangs from the crib, closet). Curtains for a nursery, curtains for all 3 of my grandbabies, All without a pattern. Me??? Imagine that. I just look at something and if I like it, I try doing it myself. Well I saw a quilt I liked and
came home, looked at all info I need and made my first quilt. I am hooked with a capital H
