I'm the eldest of four siblings. As a child, I was happiest when my hands were busy. Recognizing that trait, and not yet having a daughter, my mother taught me early on many of her creative skills. Which included the skills of handling needle and thread. As a pre-teen it was a fun pastime. Who would have guessed then that the skills of needlework would eventually become part of my career? One of the most valuable tools in my shop is my sewing kit. Not a week goes by that it is not put to use. Guess what - it's still enjoyable and relaxing, too!
It's a sew sew job but Clinton enjoys it!
ReplyDeleteI do all the sewing in my house too, I have made many, many puppets from cloth. Not that unusual all the best tailors are men.
ReplyDeleteClinton, Is all your sewing done by hand, or are you very talented on the sewing machine. Regards. Doug.
ReplyDeleteI can use the sewing machine, but prefer to let Adelia do that part of the work. We get more accomplished as a team.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a team, I too learn the art of hand stich, I also use sewing machines, but Even though it takes forever, somethings can only be mase by hand, if you are making figure bodies, I have and I found out that to be true, Enjoy your work and knowledge of its Artistic Craft, Keep up the work Mr. and Mr. D. and the imput from one and all.
