sew me
i’ve embarked on a small sewing project. looking at most of mia’s clothes, they look really simple to make so i wanted to try making one myself. cheapskate as i am, i didn’t want to buy new material, considering that i haven’t actually sewn anything since my home economics classes in high school. so i took an old pink maternity blouse i no longer have any use for and cut it up. the resulting scraps look big enough to make a toddler dress, or a sexy nightgown (there’s not that much cloth!), depending how decent my sewing skills prove to be like.
thing is, i’m planning to sew by hand as i can’t be bothered to bring out the heavy duty machine i inherited from hubby’s grandma. besides, it’ll probably take me eons to figure out how the machine works in the first place. i can make clean and neat stitches, and i have a fair idea what i want to do, but after cutting up the cloth, i haven’t found time to actually do any sewing, arrrgh! at the rate i’m going, mia will probably have outgrown the dress even before i finish sewing it up!

ha ha ha! nung maliit pa ang kambal, lahat ng shorts at pajamas nila eh ako ang nagtahi. ngayon for raine, wala akong natahi kahit isa. we have 2 sewing machines here, isang electric at isang manual. masarap magtahi sa machine, nakakatamad sa kamay.

i also rode the cross stitching bandwagon in the late 90s. i finished a number, but only two were frame-worthy. ang mahal pa naman ng framing!

ngyaah, akala ko naman hilig mo talaga. talent kasi kamo, hehe…
actually, if i had more time on my hands, i may take it up again, and other needlework. it feels good to create something withe the hands. it’s very relaxing, pero kailangan talaga may time!

You can try knitting. Currently, I am doing baby cardigans and sweaters. Mabilis naman gawin dahil sa maliit ang katawan. Kaso mainit pala sa Singapore. I will try sewing again. Pero intimidating talaga ang sewing machine…
