Many people don't have the luxury of learning to sew at a young age, thankfully I did. My mother is an amazing seamstress and in addition to that can also make her own patterns for practically any and every thing. Wait there's more! Not only can she make her own patterns but she is also gifted with great creativity. Designing outfits, painting, decorating, (I even remember her designing and building her own bookcase once) yep she does it all!
I would love to say I payed a lot of attention when she was teaching me as a child and because of that I now posses great talent when it comes to sewing and pattern making; sadly no. Growing up I saw sewing as a chore and dreaded the yearly summer project she "forced" us to do. Thanks to my mother I can sew but my skill is not anywhere near my mother's or where I would like it to be.
There is one thing I have retained though and that is the knowledge that it is possible to make just about anything you can dream up. With that realization, coupled with determination (not to mention my mom on speed-dial) nothing is impossible...well almost nothing.
I hope to put a few tutorials up here at some point. I do not by any means claim to be an expert pattern maker, seamstress or designer. I'm saying this because I might not do things the "proper" way. If you know the "proper" way or a better way to do something please feel free to tell me.
I hope you enjoy my projects and hopefully one or two of them will inspire a project of your own.
