I've dabbled in everything, from knitting to sewing to paper craft.
In the past 4 months I've easily spent over $2000 on supplies for "brilliant" ideas that either didn't come out like I had envisioned or didn't sell.
I got accepted into school for medical sciences and decided to put things on hold while I'm away studying.
I'm 4 hours away from home with no car and incredibly bored.
Being bored has made my hands itch to create things again.
It started with knitting, my Winter Knitting Project, for myself is finished. I knit a cardigan. Well, it's almost finished, I still have to sew it all together.
I love knitting, but I find it's not something that one can make a lot of profit off of.
My cardigan for example, 6 balls of wool at 10$ a ball. I wouldn't be able to pay myself fully for my time in the price of the sweater. Plus knitting takes so long, I don't think it would be possible to fill an Etsy store completely with knitted products in a timely fashion. It would take me forever to knit enough product to even put in a store!
I've always loved aprons. About 2 years before I even started the textile program I made an apron for myself, bought a book on apron patterns and even designed a few basic ones.
After I graduated I designed a pattern for a two tiered 1950's style apron.
I never did anything with it until the beginning of this month, when I went home to visit on a long weekend.
I finished designing the pattern and bought some fabric to make the apron from.
The picture to the right is my final result.
I know the picture isn't the greatest, but my Judy is at home instead of where I am going to school.
