My First Sewing Project

My first sewing project was so sweet and simple. A headband. I learned how to thread a machine, thread a bobbin, do a straight line, and a zig zag line. In one class, I learned so much. But it's insane because there's soooo much more to learn. So many endless projects. I was so nervous to go to the class, because I always feel like I'm not smart enough to be good at anything. Imposter syndrome. I was also scared I wasn't going to wake up on time for the class, but I woke up at 7:50 am, got ready, did light makeup, and was early. I'm so proud of myself... I don't think I'll start taking clients again (if ever?), but if so, I can make my little babies some cute headbands. That would be so sweet to show how much I love the little babies. My clients were my everything, my savior from an abusive marriage. They kept me alive, especially my premie babies. So strong and inspirational. I've always wanted to study fashion in London, it's really a fantasy. Not a dream at all. Like if it doesn't come to pass, I won't sweat it. It's just something I want to do. Learning to use a sewing machine was so unexpectantly fun. I really liked it. You have to have discipline though, because that sewing machine is powerful. Aw, now when I have a little one, I have something that'll keep me busy during postpartum when I'm not feeling the day. Sewing actually makes me happy and it's so many projects you can do. I want to go to a sewing bootcamp, but I couldn't really find any in Jersey. I saw alot in New York. I may do that so I can learn how to do my own clothes.
