I learned how sew at a small age. My mom taught me all the basics. I remember nights of crying and frustration about having to rip out another seam. But I also remember listening to Rod Stewart, while laying out patterns for easy projects and Pajama pants, or planning new projects for my mom and I to work on together. Later, I moved on to knitting. Finally, I understood more about garment construction from knitting and assembling my own sweaters. Afters years of knitting, I finally longed to sew again. Then, for graduation from college (Graphic Design degree, thank you very much) I received my very own machine. Now my nights are filled with challenging myself to do more and more complex things. It's the same as when I was knitting, easy projects aren't very fun for me, they bore me. So instead I slowly move forward with challenges which I never comprehended I could do before.
