I have been holding onto the idea of sewing clothes. I had been gifted a sewing machine from a friend and her mom many, many years ago. I was very excited to get it and try sewing again. I had stopped after high school. I went to craigslist and bought a used serger and got lessons along the way with my Mom. I struggled with the serger and also sewing clothes. It was not a fun hobby for me like it was with my mom. She was good at it and enjoyed it.
Several years ago I got that serger a check up and was told it was not beginner friendly and could be hard to use, So I sold it and bought a new one but it still was not fun for me to sew. I did not like it. I wanted to give it up yet felt guilty. I felt like I was a disappointment in some way. Go figure.
I decided to let it go and sold it to my aunt for her grandson. HE WAS SO EXCITED TO GET IT. Letting the sewing clothing thing go to a weight off and opened up space for me to feel excited to get back to my card making. One of my crafts is making cards. They are simple cards nothing to elaborate in any way yet they five me joy. The one thing that tweaked my interest is to learn some simple watercolour painting to enhance my card making.
It has sparked some joy that I have not felt in along time. I am looking at YouTube tutorials and found 2 books to work through to see if I can play with paints. I am a class &/or kit person so I am hoping that I will enjoy this process. So look forward to to seeing my makings with watercolour paints
