I have been thinking about writing a blog for a while. So, instead of sitting around and thinking some more, I decided to just do it. I don’t know if anyone will want to read it besides my mom, but it can’t hurt to try. I am an advanced beginner sewist, only just started about a year ago. I have been feeling a need for some community in my life. I work the midnight shift at my job and I live pretty far from the bigger cities, so I really don’t have much of an opportunity to engage in the garment sewing world in real life. I thought blogging could be a way to create my own little community.
Full disclosure, I can’t promise that there won’t be a lot of swearing in this blog, there probably will be. I can’t promise a bunch of pretty pictures as I am still learning how to take good pics on my phone. I can’t promise that my garments always turn out right, in fact they are almost always hiding some sort of disaster that I have had to work around (next post is about a pair of pants with only one side pocket. Why? Find out soon!). You came to the wrong place for perfect tutorials and glowing reviews of every pattern I ever make.
Here is what you will get from this blog:
• Honest reviews of my makes
• A detailed breakdown of where things went wrong, and where they went right
• Terrible pictures of me wearing stuff I made, even if it is a complete disaster, although I reserve the right to not show you mistakes that cause nudity. I think that is a fair deal.
• You may have some laughs
Who knows, this might end up being fun! At a minimum it will be a nice catalogue of shit I made with details so I can show my mom what I’m working on, after all, she is my number one fan. Ok, here we go!
