At the moment, my creative space is rainbow colored. I feel like singing the 'Rainbow Connection' song by Kermit the Frog, as I sew... yes, I'm a little bit odd.
I'm playing with charms of Kona cotton in multi colors and white.
It's a fun process though I'm not sure where it's going yet. I'm just enjoying the ride.

Do you just jump into a project and work it out as you go?
Or are you a planner?
I like to play around a bit. Sometimes I follow a pattern, sometimes I make it up as I go along!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Rainbow Charm Swap that Lilabelle Lane is organising? There is a link in my latest post.
I have a tendency to jump in and make it up as I go along but occasionally I'll follow a loose plan!
ReplyDeleteWith those beautiful colours, you could make almost anything and it would look gorgeous. Intrigued to see what you eventually come up with :o) xo
ReplyDeleteI think I have one of those charm packs too. Can't wait to have the chance to play with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a planner, I want to know what I'm doing before I start, but I think maybe when I have a bit more creative time (I should stop setting myself deadlines) I'd like to have a go at just sewing and cutting and see where I end up.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Sometimes I plan things to bits, consequently it isn't done in time if I'm on a deadline. Also I find that as I go I think of ways I could alter items to make them easier to use, more functional, prettier etc and then I want to change the original...immediately. I'm forming a habit of making a trial run first time round and then having 2 patterns of most things - the original and my 'personalised' one!

I like to play around and doodle first...then sew... looks like your making pinwheels...cant wait to see what you end up making :)
ReplyDeleteLove those solids. I'm usually a planner, but I allow for some tweaking along the way.
ReplyDeleteI love that Kermit the Frog song!
Someday I'll find it, the rainbow connection, the poet, the dreamer, and me.
I'm so new at this that I am a planner. Maybe I will get more adventurous a little later on.
ReplyDeletewhen I was doing creative projects on a regular basis, be it cross stitch or scrapbooking or baking experiments I found doing lots of planning helped me complete the project faster - I had everything I needed to hand and didn't get stalled half way in frustration. But the planning process was pretty boring.
ReplyDeleteI jump in with all my clothes on usually!
ReplyDeleteI am also new to sewing so I am just following patterns and trying out blocks.
ReplyDeleteI am new to quilting so I floow the patterns and try them all out making many different blocks
