Why Do I Sketch?

The other day, Rhonda asked a very good question in my previous post on sketching.

"Can you tell me the advantage of sketching yourself vs tracing the pattern sketch?"

I am glad to answer that question. For me, it's a personal preference to sketch. It's actually faster for me. One of my other hobbies is drawing/watercolor painting, so by nature it's easier for me to do hand sketches. Also, I can make my sketches bigger than the line drawings on the patterns. Actually, I had not thought about tracing the line drawings on the pattern. That would be another great option.

Also, for those who don't use a computer or have a graphics program, I'm just showing another way to create a sewing plan by hand.

So, hand sketching for me produces faster results and works the right side of my brain more.

Happy Sewing!
