Oh my goodness, that pattern is darling! And the bows 😍 🎀 I love the analogy, too. Approaching something new with a try-on mindset definitely helps remove some of the pressure.
Yay to a YouTube channel!! That's so exciting! Just liked and subscribed 🤗
Watched your video and gave it a thumbs up! Good job trying something new! I'm a big fan of seeing journal questions written down. What about including the journal questions in your article or in the description of the youtube video? Just an idea!
I've heard from many creatives that they give themselves a budget to "try on" a new creative project before jumping all in. I love that your life advice came from an 80+ year old sewing book! I have a Simplicity magazine from the 70's that I found in our local book box and I use it frequently!
That's something I thought about, too - but then I figured there might not be a point to watching the whole video if the suggestions were all pasted below, haha! I adapted the video from an older newsletter which is here if you did want to grab a few of the journal prompts more easily! :) https://jessbarker.substack.com/p/11-questions-your-creative-side-wants-you-to-ask
Your point about having a "try on" budget is fantastic! I'm all about adding paramenters & logic to what otherwise can feel super nebulous - so having that extra level of clarity sounds really helpful.
And I bet you've made some amazing things with those 70s patterns, how fun!
