My first Sewing Project

Finally I have finished
I have to admit, it’s not to my taste , but it will be
It has been a great learning curve, I suppose it’s all about practice, which I need a lot
This piece will be transformed, needs some experienced and talented hands
Not mine just yet.
Put it down to practice
But here it is, next time you see it, it surely will look different



Have a great week x

Dreams

I dream a lot, oh yes I do.

But I’m also an accountant, which means that my feet are on the ground too

So I believe I have the best of both worlds. I dream but I’m also a realistic.

More than four years ago, I had two goals, wanted to learn how to sew or go on a photography course

Somehow, Patchwork came across, in a town very close to where I live

Four and a half years later, I understand a bit, I shall say, I don’t know it all, no I don’t because it’s just so vast, but I feel comfortable, with what I do and what I create. So first goal achieved.

But then it didn’t stop there, last Summer I started a dress for my niece, well, got the pattern, cut the fabric, made a mistake or two, re did it, because I don’t believe on the words ‘it will do’ no, not a great believer at all. Or I do it properly or I don’t.

So that dress is still half way. Something was missing.

If I spent time concentrating on it, I’m sure I could get to the end, but I want to learn properly.

That’s why, next week I’m starting at University of Herts doing the first course of two, Pattern Cutting for Beginners, followed in January by the Intermediate one.

So my niece, hopefully by next summer can have a few dresses ;-)

I am a very Lucky Lady, sure am, to have around me all these courses that I’m sure I’ll have great fun in attending.

The photography course is still on standby, done a small one in London last year, but that area still have lots to learn, mind you, a friend thought that some of my quilt photos were taken by professionals, which they weren’t, so that made me smile.

I still have a big Dream, oh yes I do, and this course will be another step to achieve it.

I seriously just need a big kick to launch myself, and don’t think that nothing has been done about  it.That bit that’s missing  in me,  I’m working on that too, with the help of some lovely people.

So I can’t wait, to learn something new. To do it properly. To feel confident with dress making.

Every day I feel blessed, I feel lucky that I’m going towards my Dream.

And that is what Life is about.

Crawling, walking and running towards your dreams.

I Love Life!!!!!!
