Why I sew

Everyone has their own personal style. Whether you wear sweats or sequins, we all need to feel comfortable in our own skin. When I turned 30, I decided to change my look. I wanted to wear things that made me happy and feel good, rather than feel and look just like a mom. I wanted to wear pinup and vintage-inspired things with a splash of rockabilly. Everything was too pricey in the stores and online. My husband asked me why I didn't simply sew my own stuff. Talk about an "ah-ha" moment. LOL

The next chance I got, I drove to the nearest fabric store ( we all know the one, that rhymes with Conan). I grabbed a few patterns and a cart full of fabric. I started with skirts because, well, they're pretty simple. I was soon sewing my own tops and bottoms. 

I had only ever sewn for my kids and home decor stuff. I never thought about sewing for myself. #momming #momlife There was a little trial and error in picking fabrics and patterns, but I got there eventually.

Oh hey, it’s me!

Let me tell you though, it's an amazing feeling when I walk out wearing something I've made! Sometimes things don't turn out, but when they do, It's the greatest feeling! The best compliment is “Where did you buy that?” And it usually gets paired with “Thanks, I made it!”

I hope you’re able to benefit from what I’ve learned, here.

I love teaching others to sew. Welcome, and I hope you stick around.
