Sewing

Ahh sewing the quintessential female occupation where one takes formless material and makes something useful .... Drives me bonkers!!! So naturally because it seems to want to defeat me I must not let it win!!! Ha ha!

In all honesty the reason I want to learn to sew is much more than me against the mighty machine and formless cloth monsters. Learning to sew means that I can make clothing that I like and that fits right, well in my opinion.

I must at this point give what I am told a shout out to my Mommy. If it was not for her I doubt I would have mastered the strait seam or as I did today the bias tape snake monster. I know that with out my Momma's quiet assurances and gentle guidance my patience would have snapped and I would have given up. I love my Mommy! Everyone should have one like her!

Through some trial and error and costly mistakes I have stumbled onto an interesting source of cheap practice material ... Old sheets! Sheets are generally made of woven cotton and the style of clothing I like lends its self to that material. Its a two birds one stone. I am making clothing that can be worn while doing things that would stain or other wise damage them and get much needed practice sewing.

and now having read this post I realize how disorganized my thought process is, but I am not changing it one bit.

Good day, hope ya'll got a lol bit of a chuckle and god bless you.
