Patchwork Pattern Maker

A little bit ago, I found this super neat Patchwork Pattern Maker from the Victoria and Albert Museum while browsing the blogosphere. You can upload a photo of anything and it creates a pattern for you. You can crop the photo, change the shape, decide how many different colors you would like to use, and determine the complexity of the piece. 

Here's a quilt made from a picture of precious little Humphrey.

I just can't wait until my sewing class begins! My friend AJ, hairstylist extraordinaire and coowner of The Roose Parlor and Spa (Which is totally amazing and I'm not just saying that because she is my friend. It's all natural- no perms, no extensions, no acrylic nails. Let's just say their pedicure involves whole milk, lemons, and honey.) brought over some super inspiring sewing books and my mind has since been reeling with ideas. What's new, right? I think I'll order these fabrics from Spoonflower when my class starts.

Oh and I have quite a few vintage pieces I would love to alter, fix, or modernize. I'll be a master seamstress in no time!!
