I love needlework, I love the texture, the colors, the possibilities, when I look at wool, fabric, embroidery floss... I let my imagination run wild and I dream of what I could created.
There are so many benefits of creating something from a few meters of fabric, or grams of yarn.
I admit that I don't normally create something from the top of my head.. I do rely on patterns that another designer had created. (Sometimes I combine 2 or three patterns to get the style I like)
I get to use the materials I want, the buttons, add details, remove details, change the stitches etc. When my project is finished, its a one of a kind creation. It is created out of passion, love and a desire to make the receiver happy and proud.
I wonder how some of our top named Designers get their start in their craft? Did they learn from their parents, grand parents? Did they stay up till the wee hours ripping out and restarting a project till its just right? Did they take look in the department stores and not like what they saw and created their own fashion?

“Handmade” is one of the most effective descriptors to help emphasize the quality and uniqueness of a product and is typically of a higher quality than a machine produced product. Unfortunately it also carries a stigmata that many of today’s young people perpetuate. Before the invention of textile machine, only handmade clothing existed, now machine made clothing rules the entire clothing market. The labels and brands create the perception of a higher quality of life, a sense of fashion, and status or social acceptance in their circle. The care and craftsmanship of a handmade article created for another is lost among these youth because of a misplaced sense of value and appreciation.
