Hi guys!
Ok so i'm gonna be a tailor one day. Just like my Mum.
Keeping in line with my tradition of being the ONLY Tuau that doesn't excel at anything physical (lol) i have decided to add another sit down job to my list of "things i can do". Why, you might ask? It's just one of those things i've always wanted to know how to do - and so i figured - i'm gonna do it.
I have my very own sewing machine, a Bernina from like 1946 lol. I have what i call "practise material" aka all of mums materials hahah - and every possible accessory that one would require to sew (thanks mum). At the moment all the patterns i have are from 1987 but that's a good place to start i think!
Things that I have learned so far....
How to thread a bobbin
How to wind the cotton on the bobbin - with the machine
How to thread a sewing machine
Changing a broken needle (lol)
That I cannot cut straight without chalk or a ruler of some kind no matter how much i concentrate - in fact i've learnt that concentrating on cutting straight, in some weird way, actually guarantees that i will cut crooked haha.
Yes, paterns are required - i cannot freehand stuff lol
That I can't design stuff yet - cos i don't actually know what i'm doing lmao
As with all new hobbies i took off with great enthusiasm, sewing everyday this week... and i feel... with time... it's actually really possible ..... that i might be better than mum one day (just quietly haha!)
So i guess i'll keep you posted, and one day soon i'll post a picture of my very first creation :) and if it looks like crap, at least we'll have something to giggle at hahaha
Smile and be happy, it's a great day!
Lots of love
Ula xoxo
