Dream BIG...becoming BIGGER!
Started on a dressmaking course 16 weeks ago. I started off wanting only to learn how to sew -- literally just putting two pieces of fabric together and join them up with a sewing machine. I didn't even know how to use a sewing machine...and didn't believe it would be easy for me to learn how to.
Over the last 16 weeeks, I've learnt
- how to take measurements for dressmaking;
- how to draw my own flat patterns for dressmaking;
- how to operate a sewing machine -- and own one :) ;
- quality and characteristics of different kinds of fabric, how to handle them with what kind of notions;
- made 2 dresses for myself, 1 skort and 1 cloth diaper for my little girl, and am still working on more sewing projects.
Didn't know I could be so hooked on sewing. :)
It is up to myself how far I want to pursue this interest -- I want to build this business. ;p I want to learn how to draw. I want to learn how to design. I want to learn how to teach others how to do it and instill the same passion in them. It might take me years, but I want to do it.
In everything I do and enjoy, I see God's presence in it. I don't believe that we always need to suffer or feel strained if we're doing something that glorifies God's name; otherwise we might be deemed as not having put enough effort. I don't believe that God, family, work and passion for something have to be separated.
I believe that all fruits of joyful labour is loved by God. And it is enough that only God appreciates. :)
