Reviving Passion: Getting Back into Sewing and Fashion Design

In the whirlwind of motherhood and life's twists and turns, it's easy to set aside the hobbies and passions that once fueled our creativity and joy. As a mom of nine and someone who once immersed herself in the art of sewing and fashion design, I understand the longing to reconnect with those lost sparks of inspiration.



I vividly remember the moment in middle school when I asked for a sewing machine for Christmas. Excitedly, I returned from vacation, and during the class discussion about our favorite gifts, I proudly proclaimed, "A sewing machine!" Little did I expect the entire class to burst into laughter. It was a moment of embarrassment, but little did I know it would plant the seed for a lifelong love of creating with fabrics and threads.


Fast forward to my time at Murel Dobbins High School in North Philadelphia, where I had the opportunity to dive deeper into my passion through fashion design classes. Under the guidance of a wonderful instructor, I learned the intricacies of garment construction, design principles, and the joy of seeing my ideas come to life.


But life has a way of shifting our priorities, and as I embraced motherhood and navigated through three marriages, my sewing machine sat idle, gathering dust in a corner. However, the flame of creativity never truly faded; it merely awaited the right moment to reignite.



That moment is now. I've reserved a special spot in my room dedicated solely to sewing—a sanctuary where creativity knows no bounds. This space symbolizes not just a return to sewing but a reclaiming of my identity as a creator, a designer, a dreamer.


I invite you to join me on this journey of rediscovery. Through videos and pictures, I'll be documenting the transformation of this space from a mere corner to a vibrant hub of creativity. It's not just about sewing; it's about carving out time for ourselves, pursuing what sets our souls on fire, and embracing the joy of creation.


For those who, like me, are yearning to reconnect with their forgotten passions, here are some motivating quotes to inspire your journey:


1. "Creativity is intelligence having fun." - Albert Einstein

2. "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs

3. "Life is short. Do stuff that matters." - Siqi Chen

4. "Every artist was first an amateur." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

5. "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." - Oprah Winfrey


Let's embark on this adventure together, reigniting old flames and embracing the beauty of creating something from the heart. Stay tuned for updates as we transform dreams into reality, one stitch at a time.
