This weekend I took some time for myself. I sewed a skirt for ME. I did have to buy the material and the zipper. (I'm not THAT good to make the fabric myself.. geesh... How crazy do you think I am?!).
It took about 4 hours. Of course I could've gone to the mall and scoured the sales rack and bought a skirt within that time frame, maybe even cheaper than what I paid for the fabric and notions (notions are what sewers call thread, zippers, buttons, etc...).
I created a piece of art to wear!
(As you view my new skirt, please meet Pinny. She is my clone, as my 9 year old son calls her.)
SO next time you pick something up at the store and you think to yourself, "Oh wow!! That is SO totally me"... Remember THIS!! WRONG!! IT was MASS produced so that others, not just YOU would want to wear it.
Anyone can create art to wear. AND when you create your own wardrobe, you will never walk past someone wearing the exact same outfit again ;)
