About me:

As far back as I can remember fashion and making clothes was always part of my life before I ever could reach down and put my feet on at pedal of a sewing machine. My mother use to sew our clothes for us children and I use to watch her and was fascinated. I remember one of my dolls had a tear in her sleave so my mother helped me to thread a needle and showed me what to do and that was the first mending job I did. I took an old light bulb and some scrap material and made it into a doll and just crayoned the facial features and so that was my first sewing project and I was barely five years old. When I was in my teen my mother no longer made my clothes and so I started to learn to make my own clothes and gradually used my own creative ability as an artist to take an original idea from a paper pattern and add my own ideas it. I found sewing very it enjoyable and an outlet for my creative expression. It was soon after that I started to sew for family and other individual I came in contact with. As an adult I started home based tailoring business. In the beginning of that I was not yet at a professional level but as time went on and I strive to perfect my skill I gain many happy loyal clients which in turn by word of mouth my client base grew. I really never need to advertise since I was able to keep my clients happy. As time went on I dabbled in designing fashion for my clients and suggested different ways I could sew there outfits which they took delight in that. I went on a leave of absence from my business for about a year to catch up with things in my own personal life and to decide in which direction I was going to go in my career. The decision was a big one which could mean that i may loose some clients and disappoint other clients. I decided to no longer take in alterations or so at a bare minimum rate as I have in the past. If I was going to be a designer, then I must only do as a designer would. So instead I only took n orders that for fashion tailoring and reject other requests. I made of a portfolio of my designs and and publishes some of the collection on the Myspace page and also at facebook as you can see now. In the future i am looking forward to fashion shows and putting on business fairs in a way to promote my fashion business. I will continue to create interesting creative designs for people to wear at their venues and other occaisions. I will be updating and adding new designs to my album from time to time .. ..
