In this day & time of just go buy what you need, we
sometimes forget that we can also make some
of what we need or want. I was taught to
sew, I mean like using a sewing machine.
Not just sewing back on a button.
I personally make most of my dresses. I don’t really like most of the one’s you can
go buy at a store. My grandmother taught
my mom to sew, who in turn taught me to sew.
My grandma is so good at using very little bit of material, that when my
mom took a sewing class in school (she only took it to take up a credit hour of
her senior year) she was suppost to bring in certain about amount of material
for the sewing project, say like 4 yards.
Well my Grandma & Grandpa had 5 kids so money was tight.
My Grandma got some material she had left over & showed
my mom how to fit the pattern on the material.
So my mom went to school with less than the 4 yards required & the
teacher’s like. You will not be able to
use that you need to have your mom buy more.
My mom told the teacher, yes it will fit & I will show you how. She put the pattern on the material. Right then the teacher realized that this
women really didn’t need to be in the class.
So shortly after that my mom became the teacher’s assistant in the
class.
So that being said you can see that I come from a line of
women that can sew & really know what they’re doing. It’s also nice to be able to wear something
that you actually made. I’ve also made
shirts for my husband, curtains, blankets for the bed& I’m sure there are a
few more things that I can’t think of right now.
If sewing is something that you like to do or would like to
learn how to, but you don’t have the time cause you have to work a 9-5
job. Well maybe you should consider
coming & working with the online company that I work with. It allows me to set my own hours, still make
money even when I’m doing something else & not have to report to a
boss! If this sounds like something you
would want to do (& who really wants’ to have a boss??) then click on my
link & I will show you how to earn enough to have free time for whatever
you like to do in life. Be it sewing, boating,
hunting, fishing, shopping, gardening, spending time with family & the list
could go on forever.
Come join the freedom from a boss!!
I think it is awesome that you have learned how to make things for yourself. Maybe I should learn. :) Even better is knowing you have the time to learn new things while still making money! Great job Amy
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother & mom sewed. I took home ec and in 4H did sewing but I just bought hubby (yes I said my husband) a $20 sewing machine off a swap shop and that man has taught himself how to use it but he did buy it just to sew the boys boy scout patches on instead of taking to a seamstress so that $20 machine has paid for itself over & over! Way to go Amy and I love making money from home! Best decision I ever made
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting isn't it. My mom never was crafty in anyway. It skipped a generation in my family. :)
