So, I designed this pattern I believe back in 2016 when I ran an old blog that focused on various DIY crafts and home decor ideas. When I started this one, I began adding some of my old patterns, so I had content on my new blog after rebranding, which was a really exciting transition for me. I originally created this pattern because I absolutely loved the vintage red truck look, which always reminded me of simpler times and nostalgic holiday memories. My dad also had some old red vintage truck decorations around the house, and he’s a big car guy when it comes to classics, which only fueled my appreciation for that aesthetic. I remember growing up and watching him work tirelessly on so many old cars that he was fixing up, and I even had the chance to see him drag race some of them at local events. It was a thrilling experience that instilled in me a love for all things vintage and automotive. So, I initially created this pattern for my home as a decoration for my couch for Christmas because we didn’t have much Christmas decor at that time, so I started making some things to fill that void. But I eventually gifted them to my dad instead, hoping he would enjoy them more, and he still uses it every day, often reminiscing about our shared love for those classic cars and the memories they bring back.
