TWO FOLD

Don’t forget we still have masks. Be safe out there folks ✨

What a blast this sewing course has been 🎉 We spent three weeks learning about our machines, the tools and verbiage used, how to read a commercial pattern, how to sew seams, bias strips and hems, and the general construction of a garment.

I always come away from teaching this course feeling so fulfilled. I love that moment when things just click for a student and it starts getting easier and feels a bit more natural. These girls did an amazing job on their tops, and, as always, I love seeing the joy when they put on their pieces they just created. ✨

I had a conversation with someone much older than myself today that pointed out a few things that could be better about my body. In this conversation I learned a lot about why we talk down to other women and tell them their appearance isn’t “up to par”. We project to others what has been said to us (through the media and people in our personal lives). If we feel like we aren’t skinny enough, don’t have big enough b***s, have too large an ass, etc. we see those “flaws” in others.

Do I have things I wish I could change, absolutely. But am I proud of my figure and love the body I’ve been given? ABSOLUTELY! I choose to love my body (I only get one) and celebrate every body out there.

I could so easily look at myself and nitpick what I wish was different, but I am who I am and I’ve worked hard to learn to love this version of myself. I will not let anyone diminish my worth because there are things that aren’t up to their standards.

No matter your size, shape, height, color I celebrate you and want you to know you are beautiful JUST AS YOU ARE! Now, go light up the world and let your beauty shine 🌟
