Taking up Sewing

And so I found myself buying a sewing machine because I had earlier bought five pieces of beautiful fabric from the quilt shop and didn't know what to do with them. When I was a child, I remember playing and trying so hard to sew a few stitches using my mom's old Singer and ended up spending the next hours getting the threads out of wherever it is it decided to entangle itself with. So I approached my new sewing machine with "caution" - hesitation and fear of ruining it are definitely there too. But after an hour of reading the manual and trying things up, I realized that sewing machines nowadays are more sophisticated than they were back then and are now easier to use. And so I made one of the pieces of fabric into a pillowcase. And when I realized it was that easy, I then decided to make Julia's pajamas. And even that turned out great. Just looking at the sewn threads on the fabric boggles my mind. I can't believe I could make such uniformed stitches so easily! I realized it never is too late nor too difficult to try the things one have been wanting to do for years. All I needed was to take the first step - like buying a sewing machine.
