inspirational scrapbook
Calendria   Advanced Beginner AK USA Member since 7/4/05 Posts: 595	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/29/12 7:59 PM okay, so I have been thinking of creating an inspirational scrapbook, cutting out pics of different clothing from magazines or printing off pics too and making them into a scrapbook for some good inspiratin. then finding the closest pattern I can find and some how morphing it to what I want. but . . . . how to do this?

It shows what an inspiration board is, and it sounds like that is what you're wanting to do in a book form. I do this, kinda, with my Fashionary. Drawing, notes, pics pasted in, fabric stapled and patterns that I can use and what changes I need to make. I probably could use a blank book for it.

I just bought one and started using it. It's only been a few days but so far so good (I've only glued the thing paper from J.Jill catalogs so far). I love the pen! ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

If so , that might work better. What a great idea! Can't wait to see what you are inspired to make!

It was perfect for organizing all the things I saw in bridal magazines or catalogues or even just wherever. I had different pages for gowns, flowers, china/flatware/crystal, cakes... pretty much every wedding related thing. The sticky pages made it easy to add and organize things in a snap. And like the blog Sew Ducky posted mentions, it was very helpful at the florist, baker, and dress shop, because I could show them exactly what I had in mind. (All of which meant that I was able to find my wedding gown in about thirty minutes! Ha!) ------ ~Gem in the prairie

I copied an $85 shirt this way. I had the picture of the garment, and I had found the fabric (mine looks exactly like it but it's woven instead of jersey). That was it. Vogue has a pattern close for knits, and I got that, but Simplicity had the other details. Only V was on sale, so I marked down the pattern I had, then the pattern I needed. And did the notes on what I needed to do to change the knit to woven, etc. When I made it, I had already done all the thought work on it and constructing it was simple.
