The art of sewing.
I decided to take action and teach myself the skill of sewing. Although I know nothing about it, I went out, I bought myself a machine, a sewing basket, material, needles, the whole lot! I set it up and then I froze. Legit froze. I knew the basics from school, so that pretty much meant I knew how to turn the machine on. What to do next? GOOGLE. That's right, I googled my way through tutorials, the do's and don'ts of sewing. After many online tutorials and playing around with my machine. I eventually began learning the fine art of sewing, if it can even be called a fine art.
Well, a few days after fiddling with my machine. I decided I would go to spotlight and buy a pattern to make my little girl a dress. So off I went and then I bought a dress pattern. Now who knew buy the machine was in fact the CHEAPEST and EASIEST part of sewing? Not me.
After about 2 weeks of sewing a bit here and there, I finally finished L's dress. Well, it was about THREE sizes too big and it's definitely not the most perfect garment I've seen but a dress none the less.
So there it is, my first sewing project complete. I think I did pretty good for a first timer however I LEARNT so much about sewing, I learnt that while you can in fact get taught it, even when you google or have someone sit down and tell you what to do, you are still going to make mistakes and you are still going to learn better/easier/quicker ways to do it. It's a process but I'll be perfecting it.
