I, like many others do not have the time to read everything and just click on titles or photos that, from the title, seem of interest to me. I think it is great to have variety, sometimes seeing something different leads us into a new direction and a new 'style'
I am not really into 'traditional' patterns, but I know, because I have seen them on here, that these can be made more modern with different choices of fabric and a few twists and turns and I love that.
At this point in my life I do not have much interest in making a bag but who knows what is around the corner and how my interest will change in the future. At least on this board I have the choice of looking at a multitude of ideas, inspiring work and creativity. I love every part of it and thank you all for taking the time to post anything and everything!
