My sewing Journey: A Fabric design adventure
Sewing has always seemed like a magical skill to me, a blend of creativity and practicality that transforms simple fabric into something beautiful and functional. Recently, I embarked on this fabric project that not only tested my skills but also taught me valuable lessons along the way.
I have been making progress lately in my sowing adventure as this past week I have learnt how to cut or make a design of a fabric using paper as a stencil to first get the design out. I make use of a colored chalk or maker to make the draft pattern and will later place the design on the piece of fabric before cutting it out.
The Joy of Creation
Making and cutting out the design is a technical skill that needs some calculation of numbers, taking measurement and aligning it to the fabric you have. I call it the art of creation as you have to picture the design you want to achieve and systematically cut it out on the fabric.
I have been watching some YouTube videos as well to guide me apart from learning from my friend (teacher)
Hi Yemi! The process of creating a design from a stencil and translating it to fabric is both challenging and rewarding. It’s super impressive how you’re combining creativity with the technical skills of measurement and alignment… I am no good with numbers or math so this is very impressive to me! Keep enjoying your sewing journey, i am excited to see what you produce!
