Excuses for sewing these little bags when I'm totally supposed to be focused on creating new sewing patterns:
1. I'm clearing scraps out of my studio to make room for more creative thought.
2. During the process of creating these bags I might just come up with that one incredible idea that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
3. My mom has requested a bag like this but with pockets for her knitting needles. So now I have to make at least one more.
4. It relaxes me. If I'm relaxed I'm more likely to come up with some fab sewing pattern designs.
5. I need more bags. No. Really. I need more bags.
6. I'm using up my supply of leather handles which is taking space in this studio.
7. They are starting to fill the website. Sort of.
8. Creativity breeds more creativity?
9. I can't help myself.
10. I can't help myself.
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
