Thank You!

There are so many people who deserve a thank you for helping me find my way to the sewing world but I don't have time for them all right now. I am sure I will get to all of you in the future. So for now I will throw in some of the most important ones.

First, thanks to my husband for taking a leap of fatih with me and letting me buy a sewing machine. He and I both knew I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing and we don't normally buy things when we don't know how to use them but for some reason he was all in. It's not the fanciest machine of course but it does have a few bells and whistles for the clueless person.

Secondly, I need to thank my mom for, after 33 years, teaching me something about sewing. You see my mom is an amazing seamstress but worked full time my entire childhood . She never had time to do any recreational sewing nor did she have time to teach me anything. I can specifically remember trying to use her machine when I was about 14 and lets just say I did some minor damage and decided that I was not meant to sew. Well she has had a little more time in the last few years and well we gave her a granddaughter so she has been a little more inspired to sew fun stuff. So, I have a habit of buying fabric and patterns and taking them to her and to have her put them together. Well, the last time I did this I had planned on doing a dress for one of my girlfriends daughters. The classic southern seersucker sundress with a monogram. I have to say I was a little short on time therefore my mom was going to be short on time too. When I went to drop the stuff off, she said " Let me teach you how to read a pattern and you could help me out". The rest is history. I felt like I had overcome one of the most complex things about sewing. They look like they are written in another language if you don't have a clue.
So here I am on my little journey of creativity. The purpose of this blog is to talk about the things that I put together and maybe inspire someone who wants to sew but might be intimidated by a machine or a pattern. So here goes nothing.
