(These are the type of books I would use)
Growing up I always wanted to be a fashion designer. I loved the idea of creating something new and using all sorts of different styles and patterns and making it into my own creation.
My mom is an arts and crafts person she makes decorations, cards, cups, etc. Im pretty sure I got my creativity from her because everyday she was always making something on the dining room table or before we moved in the basement. As a kid my mom would always take me to stores like Hobby Lobby, Joanns or Michaels arts and craft store. I use to love going to the stores with her and buying books about making my own clothes or stickers to add to my designs.
For my 8th birthday my aunt got me a fashion designer book and a sewing kit. I would spend hours trying to create the perfect outfit, dress, skirt to a pair of jeans. I even would include pieces of fabric from Joanns store (In the store they had fabric where they had samples on the sides so you can grab it and take it to the front to show the cashier that was the fabric you wanted..I would take a bunch of those samples) and paper clip them to my book of designs. Looking back my designs weren't that great, they weren't even good but I thought they were the best thing in the world. I believe my mom still has the shirt I made that has like 20 different fabrics on it and pieces of glue on colorful dots.
As of now I feel like designing clothes will always be there in the back of mind as something I always wanted to do but right now I want to be a social worker and work with young children.
