From the time I can remember I spent hours watching my mom (Cebby) sew. She loved to sew, she said it was relaxing, for the life of me I could not figure out what could possibly be relaxing about sewing, it just looked like a lot of work. She made all kinds of things, from wedding dresses to curtains, she would decide on a saturday that she needed a new outfit for sunday so she would make it that same day and have it ready the next morning for church. She was very crafty, and sewing was just one of the many things she was good at, she also knitted, crocheted, re-upholstered furniture, you name it and she would do it or find a way to do it, nothing seemed to difficult for her.
Three years ago she past away unexpectedly, when going through all her stuff I decided to keep her sewing machines, for "sentimental value," all this time I had never wanted to sew, even though she always wanted to teach me. It wasn't long after she was gone that I realized it would have been nice, actually really good, to have actually learned a thing or two from her. So I started playing with the machine.
I now have a 5 month old baby and when I was pregnant I had another friend of the family who is also a great seamstress help me make his bedding, and I learned a thing or two about sewing. While I am not anywhere near as good as my mom was, I have really learned to enjoy sewing and since I've decided to stay home with my son, I am sewing a lot more.
This Blog/Small business is dedicated to my mom. I will be posting pictures of things I make, some personal and others that I will sell if anyone is interested in them. So I hope you enjoy this blog, buy a few things and remember my mom.
