Creative Inspiration

Tomorrow I am going to sew.  Yup, it's been a while since I've pulled out my sewing machine.  But I think it's time.  I found this AWESOME pattern --> Sewing Pattern - Tunic Top and picked up some great fabric!  Which I will post some pictures of tomorrow once it's washed and pressed.  One is a lovely cream eyelet, with a scalloped bottom.  The other is a dark gray blue colour.  I've also got a very lovely pale creamy grayish pink drappy fabric that I found in my fabric stash that might make a nice one as well.  I figure if I'm going to cut one pattern out I might as well cut out 3 of them!
I saw this great top very similar to the pattern at a boutique style store in our town, I totally fell in love it, but not the price tag!   The top cost as much as the pattern, fabric and all the supplies to make 3 tops!

What do you do to get those creative juices going?  What inspires you?

Me it's the fact that I can see something in a store I know I can make! LOL!

Maybe I'll do one of these tops in a cute patchwork style.. hmmmm...

A Day in the Life of.. Anne Barton

  Welcome to Stitch Read Cook's weekly feature!! A Day in the Life of..... This is where us bloggers & fans get a glimpse inside the days of our favorite authors!   -------------------- Anne Barton started swiping romances from her mom’s bookshelf as a teenager and decided historicals (with their balls, dukes, and gowns) were the best. So, when she had the chance to spend a semester in London she packed her bags—and promptly fell in love with the city, its history, and its pubs. She dreamed of writing romance, but somehow ended up a software analyst instead. Fortunately, a few years and a few careers later, Anne found her way back to writing the stories she loves and won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart® for Regency Historical Romance. She lives in Maryland with her husband and three children, who try valiantly not to roll their eyes whenever she quotes Jane Austen. Her weaknesses include reality TV, cute-but-impractical shoes, and coffee. Lots and l...
