How to design something
How I did it: Its great to design something, to know you skills. To be creative, to design something. It doesnt matter what you design as long as you have fun.
In my time, I designed a handbag for the 1970's. I love the 70's and thought it would be a great time to use for my main design. After finnishing the bag, I felt proud of myself, as it turned out greater than I thought I could make.
I learned heaps, using my newly bought sewing machine. Designing something really opens yourself up to something new. So have fun, and create something for youself, or even a friend. Feel proud to say "I made this, all by myself".
Its better than some shitty thing you buy at the shops.
Lessons & tips: The only tip I can really give you is, plan. No matter what you want to make, its always best to draw it first!
The more you think about what you want to make, the more fun you'll have making it.
I end up always changing my original design!
