There are 3 photos here of some of the things I’ve sewed. The first picture is of a pillow that my mom helped me make. This involved machine stitching, hand-sewing, and pressing. I made this a few years ago and it was a lot of fun and now I have something that I can put out during Christmas time. The second photo is a picture of pyjama pants that I made. On these I had to machine stitch, serge, zig zag stitch and there were multiple pieces to cut out. These are very soft pj pants that I also had enough fabric to make two pairs of shorts out of that I could gift to some friends and family. The last image is of my apron I made this year as-well. When I saw this bear fabric it spoke to me and I knew exactly what to make with it. The bears are wearing aprons so why not make an apron out of it! I made a paper pattern so that I could cut this shape out and I used a few different settings on my sewing machine to complete this. The pockets were a new thing for me and I think they turned out really well. I am very proud of these three projects that I have showcased on my profile and I’m glad I get to share them with with you.
How are you involved in it?
My extracurricular is sewing. I love to sew whether it’s at school or at home. I am involved in sewing because every Christmas I hand-sew at least one thing to give to my cousin. I use a sewing machine most of the time unless it’s a little project that can be done by hand or if it’s just a hole that needs some patching up. I am constantly fixing things for my family so I’d say I’m pretty involved with sewing.
Why you enjoy it?
I enjoy sewing because you get to sew whatever your heart desires. You can even make something random with leftover fabric with out needing to follow a specific pattern. Outside of the classroom I love creating and sewing because I get to make something that I could actually use and its a really fun activity. You also get to go to the fabric store and it is so fun looking at all the different fabrics and seeing what you could make with them for either yourself or a friend/family member. I really enjoy sewing because the possibilities are endless when creating.
Why it is important to you?
Sewing is important to me because I get to see what I am capable of. Before I had ever sewed, I didn’t think I’d be able to do it. There were so many buttons and a foot peddle and so many things you have to weave your thread through (and that was just to be able to start sewing!). It seemed very overwhelming but my mom helped me get the ball rolling. She spent a long time trying to teach me the skills you need to have to be able to sew. She taught me so many things and now that I know how to sew all on my own I am thankful for her teaching everything she knew. Now I can sew all on my own and that’s why it is important to me. It reminds me of when I first started sewing with her and how far I’ve come since.
