Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mom taught me how to sew when I was 2 or 3, so I've been sewing for as long as I can remember.
I love to hand sew. I sometimes make clothing for my children, which of course they grow out of in a matter of minutes. I thoroughly love it.
I sew my own shoes. Other male dancers don't, but I like it one way, and I've learned to do it that way.
It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn't have this problem. Now, it seems we're all squeezed into random designs. They're designed for no one.
My grandma taught me how to hand-sew, so I'm always making things from hand-me-downs.
I have always enjoyed dressing up, but I don't do it as often as I would want to, because it's time consuming.
From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.
I do wear weaves and I do wear wigs.
When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.
