It was nice to read about you sewing journey. I have a little girl clown costume in a closet that is made out of the same fabric! Wonderful memories.Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910868057225463839[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-53890318462769878232014-04-10T13:36:13.791-04:002014-04-10T13:36:13.791-04:00I don't think I've spoken much of homeschooling the girls because at this point, it seems like another 'lifetime' ago! The oldest will be 24 this year and the youngest, 22. But I have to say.... I thoroughly and completely enjoyed every.... single.... minute of homeschooling my girls.... even if there were a few 'ornerous' days here and there. It was a wonderful opportunity.

I like learning about the person behind the blog too.

I don't think I realized that you had home schooled your girls. (What a giant undertaking for anyone!) Reading your blog it's very easy to see that you are really, truly enjoying making your own clothing. Creating such lovely garments for yourself has to be very fulfilling and I'm enjoying your documentation of the journey.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-85427838885419308162014-04-08T19:37:20.300-04:002014-04-08T19:37:20.300-04:00It's lovely finding out a bit more about you as well, Lisa - and I think I started the MAGAM challenge because I noticed that a lot of ladies were sewing themselves out of the equation - and we need to look after our needs as well - as your lovely husband is encouraging you to do as well. (By the way, I also divorced some years ago - hence no children - you are lucky to have your lovely girls. Divorce really takes its toll, and it takes some years to get life back on track). I think many young ladies learn to sew due to financial neccessity - they are hard years, the early ones, trying to buy a house, save for the future etc - I dressed in rags for years and am only just now getting a decent wardrobe!!). Your certainly have a talent for creating and finishing lovely things - including this blog. I shall do my best to keep cheering your garment sewing on :)sarahlizsewstyle.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]
