I recently began to sew apparel because I love clothing and am interested in fashion, but can't necessarily afford the clothes I want. Fashion magazines suggest recycling clothes by bringing them to a tailor, but never suggest actually learning to sew. I am going to take that step! I have resolved to sew all of my own clothes for one year, beginning September 1, 2009, in order to learn how to sew, save money, and hopefully inspire other very-beginner sewers to take up what I've found to be, so far, an incredibly fun and satisfying hobby (though it's quickly turning into a lifestyle!).
I began apparel sewing a few months ago, and have completed 3 dresses at this point, to varying degrees of success! I am a *very* begginer sewer: I have been sewing home decor projects for a few years, but have no formal sewing training.
I am an in-house attorney at a large corporation in Connecticut. My husband and I are renters in a small Connecticut town, and my "atelier" is the guest room. I can say for the next few months that I am in my 20's...
I am so excited about this project, and am looking forward to seeing what I can create. I hope you enjoy reading this and visit often, for I will surely need help!
