Ever since I was younger, I have always wanted to be independent, that is all I have ever wanted to be, I did not really care how I did it. This said, I was very attached to movies such as Kiki's Delivery Service and other journey away from home movies. At the same time, I had also been interested in crochet, sewing, knitting, and other things that were traditional homemaking activities. At 16, I started having way too many things that I needed a use for, and so developed the hope chest idea. I had heard about this from other older generations (mainly my parents) and decided it would be a good goal. I had also at the same time started to develop the idea that I would move out when I turned 18. So I ended up with this idea that I would start a hope chest of things to help me move out when I turn 18 so I have less money I have to spend.
I am still working on this goal with only a few months left to finish everything I'll need. I currently have 3 pairs of baby booties (just in case), multiple berets, potholders, I am halfway through an afghan, and I just started a baby blanket today. I am planning on finishing everything, making a circular rug for the apartment, making a comforter( probably through sewing on a machine), and a pillow case. I am trying to think of other things I'll need for an apartment. Do you all have any ideas? I will post links to the patterns used for everything.
