Because I'm sewing again

via

So I finally got myself to buy a sewing machine to get my ass moving. I was getting bored the past few months and I wanted to try something new, so I decided to sew again. Since I've been sewing since I was in grade school and I've always been fascinated with crafts and needlepoint, it was definitely a great idea for me. Also, it can be the right push for me to get myself in dressmaking school already.

Anyway, I just want to remind myself a couple of things since I am still in the process of teaching myself how to sew properly. For one, I need tons of pins! I seriously need like a million of them. Also, I should stop estimating adjustments for the stuff I make. Sure, the leeway isn't much needed right now, since I'm not doing actual clothes yet, but I will need to learn that, soon.

I hate the part where the dressmaker's chalk is so expensive, though. The local textile store sells it for PHP50! Ridiculous. For a small piece of thing, it's really pricey. Of course, it's the most ideal tool, but, well, ugh, I think I'm going to use chalk for the mean time.

The best part about this whole shebang is that I get to "redecorate" the room, since it's where my sewing area is located. I can't do much, except add a good lot of wall mounted organizing stuff. This one will work best for me:

Still looking around the city for a peg board, though. I will also make a cork board headboard. Something like this:

Now, I just need the time and money to pull all of it off.
