#marchmeetthemaker Day 14: Dreams and Plans I'm using a photo of my purple arcane shoulder dragon for this one since it's one of my favorites. I have a lot of future dreams and plans, I always wish I had more time. Short term, I have a pile of patterns I'd like to create including a sugar glider, manatee, flamingo, and more wearable sorts of plushies like the shoulder dragons. I'd also love to experiment more with custom printing and continue to mix my digital art skills with my sewing. Long term I really would like a larger studio space. And a stuffing machine! Like they have at build a bear. I also think it would be cool to have space to host classes or workshops for other people who want to learn how to sew and how to start selling their crafts. It's always depressing how many people don't learn to sew anymore unless their parents or grandparents teach them. Being able to sew has not only provided me with the means to make my own full time living, but is also emotionally fulfilling. Given enough time and the right materials I can make anything I want. Clothes, bedding, towels, plushies, blankets, dog beds, the list goes on. Its a very freeing experience. I recently achieved a major goal of mine. Check in stores in the Fall and you'll see this shoulder dragon pattern available from Simplicity. Seeing my work available in major stores was always a huge dream of mine so I'm absolutely going to cry and scream when I see it. One day, I'd also like to see my work published in a craft or pattern book. #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2018 #sewing #crafts #crafting #handmadeplush #handmade #plushie #plush #stuffedanimal #handmadewithlove #sew #dragon
