Welcome to Leonardo's Rib!

The title of this blog is acknowledgment of Leonardo DaVinci, one of the most significant figures of the Renaissance period. Today the term Renaissance man refers to anyone who is knowledgeable about many different things. I could not possibly choose just one area on which to express myself so I am taking the route of the Renaissance soul and sharing much about many things.

A Recycled blouse

I had a blouse that was large enough to fit myself and a fairly large friend.  I cut it up long ago with the intention of making something with it, but I was waiting for it to declare itself. I never work on a piece of fabric, a blank canvas, or an empty notebook without first waiting for it to declare itself. I know that the drawing is meant to be something unique just as I know the piece of paper is meant to be part of a particular written work.
In the time between my cutting the fabric and it's declaration I moved to a different apartment. Somewhere between there and here I lost the sleeves and a significant amount of the blouse. As a result, the fabric turned out to whisper to me rather than make a grand declaration, LOL.
In the end, it worked out. I have a decent top to wear for summer.  I just miss those sleeves!
If you sew often, or even if you're just beginning, you really should check out the links on the left hand side of my post. All Free Sewing has some totally awesome ideas. It's the first place I go when looking for ideas.
