When I am preparing to sew something I don't usually draw it out. I can picture it in my head and go from there. I don't design clothing though, just bags. If I am in a store or see a bag on TV that I like then I can look at it and figure out how it is made then make a pattern for it out of tissue paper or computer paper. I really like to make book bags. When I get my inspiration for them I am usually at the fabric store and see a fabric that I like then just go around and pick other fabrics out to go with it. If i am at home I rummage through my piles of fabric and piece stuff together. I really like getting old fabric from flea markets because it is always really unique. A lot of the time it does not match but that's why I like them and they stand out. Most people think that I bought them in a store and want me to make them one. I have sold a few for between $30 and $50 dollars. Here is a couple of pictures from the most recent bag that I made one day between classes.

Very original, resourceful,unique, and fun. I've been known to make a few bags myself, but not ever book bags. I like the bright colors and the contrasting lining. I also love the idea of a 1 of a kind.
They look professional and would be a really cool thing to maybe do online and have people get customized bookbags with certain colors and prints. I want one, most bookbags now are ugly.
That bag is so cute!!! I love the patchwork on the inside and the colors are definitely a wow factor. It's very original and I would buy it. Book bags is something you don't see many people design themselves which is why it makes it so unique.
I love your bag! It is so sweet and makes me feel happy! :) I like that it is so colorful, but most of all I like the pattern on the inside! It becomes a surprise when people open it! Good luck with future designs!
i love the fact that your very creative and original. the array of pattern and color combonations you use for your bags are so unique and visually appealing.
This bag is awesome. I liked the detail in your stintching as well. You could tell it took a lot of time and effort. Using unigue and interesting fabrics bring charm and appeal to the bag. I could see myself and many other people buying a bag just like that at a boutique in Soho in the future. Who knows maybe it will be yours :)
ummm..wow! this is incredible. Not only does it have a cool edge but the craftsmanship is impecable. I absolutely love it
