It’s been so difficult for me to blog these days. Life has been super busy (good busy) to say the least. However, I have been doing a bit of sewing by the side, in fact I got emotional with one of my recent projects.
I recently made a blouse for a client who is a cancer survivor to wear to a fund raising program. No pattern was used, she brought an old top and asked me to copy the style. I managed to make a pattern from it by measuring/ drawing method, did a muslin and asked her to try it out, and oh boy it came out better than I expected with just a little tweakling.
However, it didn’t hit me until she came for the final fitting and said “Aminat thank you so much, I really love this, it will accentuate my shape and make me look elegant”. Then I felt so good and happy that I could put a smile on her face.
Sometimes we take for granted our God given skills/talent, we underestimate what we can do with it, but if we try harder and push ourselves out of our comfort zone, we might be able to make someone or the world a better place.
Thank you God for my sewing skill , I pray/ hope to get better and do better things with it………
