My Sewing Journey till date :))

Sewing is not in my blood. Neither does my mom nor any of my relatives sew. But it is a general trend in India to learn sewing after your highschool. So I enrolled myself for a sewing class. Things didn't work out and I stopped my sewing expedition. Years later , after my graduation and post graduation and working for more than 5 years , the dormant sewing gene suddenly popped up ;-) This time it was a bit of necessity too. I have a special child and I was finding it difficult to get dresses which suits her. So I revived my interest and my loving husband supported me by buying me a new USHA JANOME :-) That was three months back and since then I have been actively involved in sewing , going through blogs for designs , tips etc and now I'm fully into sewing :)). 

My Jaaan ( Sweetheart in Hindi :) ) 

First thing that I did when I got my Jaan was stitch her a nice cover :-) I got the design idea from net ( at that time i didnt have any plans to blog and so didnt note from where I took the design :-() 

Here are a few girls / baby dresses that I made :)

This dress I made from an old saree. Its  a pavada blouse worn by girls in Kerala (rather South India )

I plan to include patten and sewing method that i adopted in the project so that it will be useful for all :))

I just love growing vegetables the organic way .  Here is a look of my garden :)

Quotes on life

Since my childhood I have been interested in quotes. I used to scribble down all the quotes in a diary. Some quotes make me feel happy, some motivate me to work harder and so on. Here are just a few that have influenced me at various points of life :) Over the next few months I will share whole of my quote collection :))

No matter what Life has to just go on and on……

 “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” 
―Robert Frost 

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” 
―Albert Einstein

Life

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” 
― Mae West 

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” 
― Allen Saunders

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” 
― George Bernard Shaw

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.” 
―Gilda Radner 

Keep thinking

“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure you hands are clean!” 
―Bob Marley 

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” 
― Dr. Seus
