After watching the Miche Bag “All About Unique Handbags,” I suddenly became inspired by Michelle Romero’s simplistic approach to fixing her purse. The entire line of Miche Bags were formed out of a basic idea that wasn’t fancy – it was Michelle, with a pair of scissors and glue, fixing her purse! She didn’t have fantastic sewing skills – all she had were some basic arts and crafts materials. This is so inspiring to me, because often I think I can’t do a lot of crafts I want to, because I don’t have “experience” with that craft. However, after watching Michelle’s video, I’ve become inspired to create, even though, I don’t have a lot of experience! My best friend is having a baby in February, and I’ve decided to sew her baby a quilt, even though I don’t own a sewing machine or know how to even really sew! Once I got over my initial insecurities about not having the “right” equipment to sew, I discovered that I LOVED sewing by hand, especially something for someone I loved. I’ve been so inspired by Michelle Romero’s straightforward, creative approach to fixing her purse. How have you been inspired by Michelle Romero’s creative idea? What projects have you started that you’ve never had the confidence to do before? I can’t wait to finish my quilt – it’s going to be perfect.
