Of needles and threads...

Now that struck a nerve, didn’t it? Now on to happier things. I recently purchased a basic sewing machine despite not being able to even sew a button on right. I have since learnt a lot from youtube and other various sources on the internet. I’ve made plans to take sewing classes in September and although these classes are gonna cost me a bomb, I am still psyched at the thought of making my own dresses, something which I have been buying a lot of, lately. I hand sew a mid-length maxi skirt a few days ago (didn’t have a sewing machine then) and despite the messy stitches, I had a rough vision of what the skirt would look like if I had the help of a sewing machine.

My first sewing machine. In fact the first ever sewing machine in my house. I come from a generation of working women who each had a career of her own. I am very proud of that fact.
