Why I'm addicted to sewing!

https://youtu.be/dEWuAcMWDLY 

Looking out on the morning rain

I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like

A natural woman.... 

Ain't it the truth!

 Ahhh! Sewing what can I say about what you give me...

  • Purpose 
  • Brain stimulation
  • Imagination   
  • Actualization
  • Solutions
  • Elation
  • Dreams to Reality
  • Satisfaction
  • Bouyancy
  • Answers
  • New Questions
  • Suspense
  • Thrills
  • Mountaintop views
  • Adventure
  • Challenges

The Agony & The Ecstasy...  sometimes though the dream doesn't quite meet expectations. What does though?

Tweaking and assessment time:

  • Do I feel comfortable
  • Photo time.. look at what others see
  • Hem - does it need to be raised
  • A-line dresses are lovely but taper is better for me
  • Does the outfit fully represent me
  • Does it work well in my Wardrobe
  • Could I make an extra garment to give more wardrobe options
  • Do I really love it?
  • Does it make me smile or feel like dancing? 
  • Would I buy it? 

Imagining, Sewing, Wearing, Feeling authentic ... there's more to sewing than meets the eye!! Finding an activity that sparks interest, commitment and takes you on a journey of a lifetime, is what Sewing means to me.

What gets your heart beating? If it's not Sewing and you aren't sure.... don't give up. Finding your Niche is a Quest that is worth pursuing. Find it. Do more of it. Get excited and  focused on enjoying your life more. Just do it!
