An Amateur Fashion Designer Wannabe

The weather is hot. It’s making me idle. I was looking for something to do today because I noticed I’m not productive since yesterday. This afternoon, while I’m on laidback mood, I heard a noise. I climbed upstairs and found my sister sewing using our sewing machine.

Our sewing machine is a treadle type. Meaning it’s already ancient. The power is controlled by the rhythm of the feet. What’s good about it is you can go slow or fast. Unlike the modern type. But, of course the old one is more tiring because you have to step and rock the pedal continuously to make it move. My mom said that she bought it around 31 years ago. Whoa! It’s older than me!

I remember that I have some clothes that needs repair or alterations. So, I asked my sister to assist and supervise me in using the machine. Actually, I already have a knowledge in using it. I just need to refresh it. I made a skirt once but that was a long time ago. Therefore, I forgot how to operate the machine.

This is my product 6 years ago. My older sister taught me how to cut,measure, what to stitch first, etc.

I removed the sleeves because they’re not my style anymore hehe.

The next is I transformed an old polo of my older brother into a blouse.

What do you think?

I altered three clothes in just a day. Therefore, you can call me Tailor Swift!

Classic! We used to own one like this. I remember I would sit on the pedal and would pretend to be driving. Lol. My brother caught his finger on the smaller wheel. He was too young and too curious. Soon my mom upgraded it to the electric one. I like the sewing machine more tho.

Yun lang, di ako sing galing ng nanay ko manahi. You have beautiful finished products. Sana all. Hahaha
