I have been sewing for about 25 years but the bare essentials of home sewing still cover knowing your sewing material and probably always will be!
My oldest daughter was about 2 years of age at that time and I couldn’t afford to clothe her. Being proud, I knew that I was going to find some clothes in a neighbor’s dumpster — but I was only going after dark! Well, I did find some older child’s clothing, but this child seemed like a giant compared to my small 2 year old daughter. What do I do now?? I did have an old straight stitch sewing machine so I thought if I could take them in seam by seam, they’d be perfect. (I didn’t have a clue how to sew at that time.) So I sat at that sewing machine for hours taking them in seam by seam 1 or 2 inches at a time, and finally, they were small enough to fit my daughter.
This was my first self-taught sewing lesson, and I have continued from that point on!
I have found that sewing relaxes me, saves a lot of money, the clothes fit right, and it is one of my passions.
At Long Last …
I would love to show you, starting with the sewing basics. (My daughters learned that way as well, from me) There is not too much I haven’t made — at one time, this hobby of mine put food on the table.
By the way, the picture of the wedding dress is real. This was made by me. I was window shopping and fell in love with the pattern of the dress so I went home and made it and saved a whole of money by making it myself! The total cost of that dress was $60.00. (It may be a bit more now with inflation though)
The heirloom christening gown was created from my homemade wedding dress for my Granddaughter. My Granddaughter cherishes this christening gown for two reasons, the first one being because Grandma made it at home, and the second reason is that it was Grandma’s wedding dress to begin with! You can do this too and make that day have special meaning for the rest of their lives!
