Make all the things! Feel better!
Sewing saved me. Past me thought I had a bad body. That I couldn’t wear the styles I loved because they’d be tight in some places and loose in others. My body image plummeted along with my mental health. Turns out my body is not the problem. Mass produced clothing is designed around averages and nobody is average. The day I learned to measure and grade to fit MY body, the world changed. No style is off limits now. Shapes I thought I “couldn’t wear” need adjustments to be comfortable. You can learn this too and wear anything you want.
My children are grown. My husband and I like adventure. So we sold our family home of 25 years, much of our stuff, and started completely over on bare 5-acre property in rural SE Minnesota. My husband designed and built (is still building?) our home. It’s a long, rewarding process with 7 cats and (someday) chickens.
Let’s make something together.
New skills are tricky and take time to master, but there is no room for judgement or negativity here. Only support and encouragement.
And hugs if you want them.
