Fashionary Womens Sketchbook
Cherish Asleson
What a neat idea! I actually got my college education paid for from a summer art program in my state (though would up in an engineering program. Go figure). I can draw, but coloring was always my favorite. I loved bringing to life pictures with artist markers or colored pencils.
I took 5 semesters of ceramics in college. I think I peaked my first semester though, I made a foot tall garden gnome. I gifted him to my aunt, and he currently resides on her bedside table and is named Fritz! I also have a lot of bowls. Like, a ridiculous amount of shitty bowls and a handful of ones I really like.
Started fashion design program, and although no problem with construction part, i freaked about the sketching. After one drawing class, I am impressed with my newly developed skills . Would love this notebook!
Oh my, a red Fashinary just shot to the top of my i-need-it-and-i-need-it-now list! I am rather talentless but I can actually make some rather decent-looking jewelery. I do know how to knit and all that other craftiness but just tire of it real fast, but I could sew all day long until my fingers hurt!
I keep loving the fashionary sketch book whenever I see it at carolyns blog (handmade by..). Would love to have my own!
I used to play the piano quite a bit, but I feel it really hurts any progess to pause for a couple of weeks, say due to a stressfull time at work. With sewing I find it much easier to have alternating productive and unproductive phases.
I have just gotten back into sewing after retiring. Amazing how much you can forget over time. Working on summer dress and tunic now. Buttonholes are my next challenge. I also love working with watercolors and my art journal. Also knit and embroider! Retirement is a dream!
I used to draw and paint in high school too! But it has sort of gotten away from me in adulthood. I really should pick it up again, and I love the idea of figures already imprinted for us to draw the fashion!
I love to sew but my drawing skills are nil however my granddaughter is totally enthralled with sewing and the design process. She designed her first dress at seven years old, picked the fabric, and sewed every stitch. She has dreams of designing and clothing children all over the world. I love it. I could not be prouder.
I can completely relate to being an ace at copying stuff. I can duplicate anything I am looking at but I could never get it right if I was working off memory. This would be a handy little tool to help keep track of future projects and to make sure I am not just making a bunch of separates without fashion buddies. Thanks for the give away!
I spent much time drawing when I was younger, High School and before. More recently, I have been doing embroidery and applique on some of the items I am making- coin purses, scarfs, and so I started drawing again. I forgot how relaxing it is, like sewing.
I used to love to draw too, but found that as my interest in other things picked up my interest in drawing (and other hobbies) waned. Someday I would love to be able to design my outfits more than just matching pattern to fabric so the fashionary book seems pretty cool.
I love to draw, I stick with the basics, pencils. I have tried my hand at watercolors recently and was pleasantly suprised on how well I did. I bought a set of watercolors for the children and they are quite talented as well, lol
Sewing is my very big passion and takes a lot of my time. But beyond sewing. I love nearly everything can be done by hand. So i`m a big fan of diy. I have to try my hand on nearly every craft. But i`ve a special love for all kind of embrodery.
Hmm, artistic skills? Nope, sorry. I can knit and bake but the results are seldom beautiful. My painting skills are limited to adding another coat to the outdoor furniture. I am awesome at that! Still, I would love a matching red Fashionary! Thanks for the giveaway.
Me wants that cute little notebook!
I used to draw a lot but I stopped when my father had a stroke. For some mysterious reason I just could not do it anymore. But never had any real talent. I just happned to enjoy it very much.
Now I am learning to sew and the only things I draw are outfits. Love it!
I am one of those people that cant draw a straight line. When I try to plan ideas for sewing seems I cant keep them in one spot, they end up scattered everywhere. So something like this would be a real prize.
When I was younger I used to have some decent drawing skills. I used to paint and play with pastels. Like you, my skills have faded as I moved into other creative areas, like sewing and cake decorating.
Thats so cool! I have the fashionary panels, which are great fo putting on a pin board but not for carrying around! Im absolutley crap at drawing, doodling, painting, etc. But I play the guitar, flute and just started with aerial hoop. Although I wont say that I have a big talent for it ?
Oh I love this book and will get one for sure. I am a Hairdresser so yes quite creative especially when people let me chose for them. I draw designs all the time so this would make it easier not having to get proportions right.
This book is awesome. I love to sew and knit and have just tried my hand at sketching. Im absolutely crap at sketching people and portions I have no idea. This little book would be so handy. I could make a few people envious of my new skills :).
Knitting, Music, Photography, 3D visualizing and the art of chemistry. I think all of them counts as art depending on how you used them, especially laboratory chemistry with require skill and a sense of what is right/enough. I have made my own version of a Fashionary with fashion templates but is would be wonderful to get a real one with all the extra in it.

This little books just look fab! It would same me from spreading my notes and pseudo-sketches all over ahah. Apart from sewing, I loooove baking and cooking. I used to write, but that was before (yeah, probably one of these weird things you start as a teenager, a sort of growing process). Being a mum, I sort of have to be into creative things now, ahah.
Cool! Please enter me in the giveaway! I used to work at a Craft Center and have dabbled in pretty much everything except woodworking and welding. I got pretty good at screenprinting, throwing pots, and bookbinding. I used to teach bookbinding and have random, empty journals all over my house.
Wow, I need this so desperately :), I have so many ideas to sew, to many to make them all. So I have draw several pictures already, to store my Ideas and to get some inspiration for my sewing projects :).
I just found your blog through untangling-knots and I like it a lot. I am new to sewing but I have crochet and knitted for quite a long time. I do sketch quite a bit and this looks like a very informative, handy and creative book.
Before I got into sewing, I was and still am very into sketching especially with pencil crayons. What got me into sewing in the first place was wanted to realize the sketches of countless clothes I drew.
What a great book!! So completely cool for doodling/planning sewing projects ? I make jewelry, knit and crochet as well as sew. I even do a little drawing/painting on the side, but not so often these days.
I can usually accomplish anything I have a mind to. The real problem is making myself take the time to do the things i want to do over the things i feel i need to do. What an awsome book Fashionary Sketchbook. Everyone needs a place to log ideas.
hi! i was about to buy a book on anatomy and on how to draw mannequins.. this sketchbook makes beautiful sketches really easy. love it! go on building skills in the watercolor course ? many thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Oh my god I used to have a book that was just like the drawing at the front of the book and I lost it, so I am definitely getting me one of these!! I crochet more than I sew and I like to embroider and cross stitch too!
