The seamstress that inspired me

I don't know if I have mentioned this yet, but my mother is a phenomenal seamstress.

I'm a little bias because she is my mother, but anyone who knows this wonderful lady will agree with me!

She has made so many outfits that were a critical part of my siblings' and I's childhood, from Halloween costumes to prom attire. Most recently, amid the hundreds of dresses she has made for my sister, she also made my wedding dress and most of my family's clothes for my wedding.

I know most of us look up to our parents, and I am definitely one of those people! My mother is my inspiration for learning how to sew and improve my talents that were handed down by genetics, as well as daily observation of a fantastic seamstress.

I have always been proud to wear the clothes my mom has taken the time to make for me. I can't say Abby will feel the same about me, but I can try!

Reduce, reuse, and upcycle. 

On my way to being the kind of seamstress I can be happy with.

Thanks mom!
