#patternsplease

On Facebook, I saw a hashtag #patternsplease by Janine from Uppercase magazine.

I got inspired to make some ceramic patterns. They are negatives from textured wallpaper and after they are fired, I can press clay onto them and get the positives. 

I love playing with textures and patterns, do you?

My creative space

Today will be mainly filled with non creative things. It's a bit sad as I have so much bubbling in my head.
The other day, my neighbor helped me draft a pattern from my favorite dress & I bought fabric yesterday. I had my eye on this beautiful petrol bleu jersey/knit fabric & I hope that I can cut it out tonight after my sewing class. I want to sew this dress next weekend.
I'm way too ambitious when it comes to sewing I think - as I can barely sew a straight line... But then I think: if I won't try, I won't know if I can do it so I just go with my instincts! :)

Hop over to Kirsty's for more creative spaces and play along! It's fun! :)

Burda Style

As if I don't have enough networking sites that I follow or participate in, I decided to add one more: BurdaStyle Not that I'm big on sewing yet but it's inspirational to browse through the projects and I hope to find a few projects there that I want to tackle sometime.

We had a party in our street last night and I found out that the new neighbor across the street is a designer for a chain of stores in Belgium. She offered to help me with any sewing project that I'm working on. She also has a bunch of patterns that I can have a browse through which I find really rad! How cool is that? Yeah! :)

And while adding my first sewing project to BurdaStyle, I searched for a picture for the pattern that I used and found out that you can actually buy it on Etsy.
