Growing up, I’ve always been the curious kid. I always wanted to try my hands on new things and do stuff out of the usual school stuff I was used to. I made it a point to attend events, training and other gatherings, especially ones where you can get the chance to learn a skill. It was through these events I developed the passion for so many things which cut across various fields.
If there’s one thing I’ve always wanted to do since I was a child, it was to be able to sew my own clothes just like I wanted them. This was due to the fact that I always struggled with clothes I ask others to sew for me. There was once I needed a dress sewn for me for a very important event. I sent my measurements and everything. Now tell me why the dress arrived late and to make matters worse I couldn’t even wear it because it was a real definition of what I ordered vs what I got.
I thank God for the good people around me, I got to take time out and learn how to sew. It wasn’t easy but I did learn it. The part that kills me now is how I barely have time now to sew my own stuff. I get home very exhausted and all I think about is what the next move is. Even with my skills and passion for sewing, I still have to resort to using the services of others to get it fits done. Somewhere between deadlines, responsibilities and daily survival, I put it down and never really picked it back up. It’s been so long I still wonder though, is it a goodbye, or just a pause until life slows down enough for creativity again?
all images belong to me.
