Success - At Last!!!

Dear phyllis44,

Thank you so much, I am very happy to know of your success.

I started to learn how to sew from my own mother at age four. We are six sisters and my mother would always sew our garments. My mother would sew very precisely and patiently. She also embellish her work beautifully. In our family both from my mothers side and fathers side there were a lot of sewers and crafters, so I learned a lot of what I know by watching and being thought by them.  Whenever some one was sewing, knitting or crocheting, I would be glued to that person, sometimes for hours without getting bored. I was always so excited to watch them. One of my moms sisters had a sewing institute where she thought pattern making and sewing. I learned a lot from her as well.

My fathers brother was a technician at a company, commissioned to sell Pfaff sewing machines. He developed special parts for the machines. Sometimes he would bring his work home, when he was designing and testing new parts. Whenever we visited his family I would be watching him work. He would teach me how sewing machines functioned.

Sewing was my hobby for many years, later I studied fine arts (design and sculpture) in Italy. This also helped me with my understanding of human anatomy, and allowed me to improve my pattern making and sewing skills. Later on, sewing became my job for many years as well. 

The secret to success in sewing is practice and time, just like anything else.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
