My Lifestyle

During the summer, I spent my time reading and thinking about how our lifestyle affects everyone around us and our environment. 
Although, companies and their advertising want us to believe that we will be healthy and happy with their products, the reality is quite the opposite. We might be content with the purchased product for about a day; while that feeling wears off and disappears, what remains is harmful to us and our surroundings. Most products packaged in plastic do not get recycled and are mixed with trash, which damages our eco-system. The chemicals inside cleaning products affect our air, our bodies, and the environment around us. 
I want a better lifestyle that includes using as few products as possible. Products that have plastic packaging that will decompose quickly and that have few to none chemicals. Products should be safe to use daily. 
A good place to start this lifestyle is to clear out harmful cleaning products from under the sink and leave or add natural products.

Progress

I've been working on sketches for a couple of dresses. I'm feeling creative and inspired. I can't wait to transform my drawings into reality.

Tote bag

This tote bag was my first project in sewing class. It took me a while to finish it because I lost the pattern. I did have all the pieces cut out before, so putting it together was like a puzzle. It was so fun to sew!
