What was the first project you ever made?
I got a sewing machine for my 6th birthday (thanks mom!) The first thing that I made with it was a scrunchy for my afro. I would use old shirts as fabric and re-use the elastic from old panties for the scrunch! For me, recycling has always been the most fun and most accessible way to craft.
What are your favorite items to make?
Right now, I love making dresses. I also love to make food. Okay... I like to make anything with pom-poms, or a floral mod pattern - Actually I'm going through a whole re-upholstery phase right now... gosh... I totally can't decide. I love it all!
