I am back to sewing clothing for myself! It's been a hiatus of close to 20 years. Yes, twenty years. I used to be an obsessive sewist and particularly loved to make designer and wearable art type of clothing. Then I married, had two kids, gained weight, and my creative interests shifted, first to quilting, then to kids clothing and crafts, knitting, and felting. Ten years later, I divorced, went back to work, gained more weight, and stopped sewing altogether, except for Halloween costumes (for my kids) and school plays, ballet performances, etc.
Well, my kids are now teenagers, and don't need (or want) my creative skills anymore. I've had many passions in my life, but this is the big one. At first, I wasn't that inspired about returning to sewing, partly because sewing didn't feel as fun at my current age/weight, but after a bit of "inspiration shopping" at some lovely boutiques, and some insanely crazy fabric shopping, I got over that.
I am hooked, once again. :)
Once I get some photos uploaded, I will start blogging. :)
Best of luck with your new blog.
