Success Stories
I was first introduced to sewing by my grandmother at the age of 7. She honestly didn't know how to sew or at least not by any book or by any professional grade. In any case it never stopped her from making anything for any of us. Her love was fierce and it showed with every stitch. As a child I would sit with her at the kitchen table fumbling through her cookie tin full of thread and fabric. Years later, present day, almost two years since her passing I've taken her basic skills and turned them into an everyday hobby where I make my own clothes, repairs, and knick knacks. I make nothing for profit it's for my pleasure and my loved ones enjoyment, just as she had.
There was a costume ball coming and i couldn't find anything to wear so decided to make an outfit myself. After figuring out how to sew (because i had no clue .. lol). The end result was a silver colored mc hammer pants with a matching silver halter top and a black face covering veil attached to a tiara. I remember i amazed myself with the end result, didn't even know that i could do that, but have been wearing it with pride. When i got my baby boy i did the same for him and made him some cute little outfits :)
My step grandmother is a great seamstress and would make me things as a kid allll the time. So i slowly but surely learned from her. And also from having to fix my things or my familys things. From that i got better and am now the seamstress in the family. My mom can do basic stitches but has no idea how to use her sewing machine. I have thus taken over the sewing machine ha
I taught myself how to sew 3 years ago. One day I was literally sitting around upset that my favorite sweatshirt had so many holes and wanted to finally do something about it. I went to Joanns grabbed some supplies and after a lot of needle to finger poking I made an absolute mess of my sweatshirt...
I never gave up though and kept going day after day. I now have a small sewing business and make all sorts of items for shops and events and have a wonderful fan base. <3 Never give up or be afraid to try something new. Even if you fail your 1st or 1,000 time. Keep going. Keep learning.
It's fun and mad surprisingly easy when someone very good at sewing teaches you. It taught me a lot about other things and not just sewing.
