There’s this anxiety that everyone have “that I know sewing is a lot time consuming and I don’t want to waste all of my time on it “ but to be honest sewing is valuable life skill not even that , it’s a valuable like tool ❤️. I spend several hours/weeks doing preparation for a new sewing project starting from the imagination.... have you read my previous Newsletter where I narrated my creative process as a fashion designer 🧵.. ?
Thank you. I'm subscribed to your YouTube channel as well as your newsletter. I had seen Part 1 of your creative process, and now I'm all caught up. I LOVE your orange outfit, btw.
Fun column, Sandra. I love the old photos! Some of my most cherished memories of my mom are her sewing. She sewed everything and did so on an old Viking sewing machine she got when she was a young mother, I believe. We spent hours at the fabric store in the downtown of our small town (this was back in the early 70s) looking at pattern books, fingering fabric. When we were younger she made us matching dresses for Easter and other special occasions, plus super cool shifts out of batik and Indian print bedspreads. It's amazing to think how much she sewed while working and raising 7 kids!
I sewed a little myself and have one sun dress with a pin tuck front that I made in my early 20s that I was particularly proud of. That was the pinnacle of my sewing. I got her Viking machine when Mother died but despite maintenance efforts and many repairs, it finally died. They don't make parts for that model anymore. Letting that go was a sad day,.
Thank you for sharing this Sarah. I love the matching outfits, making shift from batik and Indian print bedspreads. I remember those bedspreads! They were ubiquitous... covering beds, windows, becoming skirts, saris... And I'm super impressed that you did pin tuck. It's one of my favorite clothing decorations (I don't know what else to call it). I tried doing it a bit myself for a nightgown, but if I do it again, I want one of those special presser feet for the job. And... seven kids!!! Yikes. I'm glad you like my column.

When I retire (in 10 weeks) I’ll be setting up my sewing table and starting on the large baskets of mending that I’ve accumulated!
Happy retirement in advance 💕 Can’t wait to see you start sewing again 🧵
