Teaching Myself to Sew, Sew RIGHT!

A Sewing Hiatus

Hey everybody! So, I figured it's been a while.... I probably should update this to let you all know what's going on.

I haven't been sewing much recently because of my obsessive nature and my tendencies to flip flop between many different crafts. I do have 3 craft passions - Art, Knitting and Sewing. And when I am into one, the others usually suffer. I don't know why, that's just how I am and maybe, hopefully one day I can remedy that so that it's not just one thing or the other. For some reason I feel like I have to give my life to one in order for it to be any good.

So you may be wondering, which is it? It's art. I've always flip flopped through periods of not drawing and periods where that's all I do, but it's my base action. Ever since I could pick up a pencil I drew. And having gone through a mental breakdown about my future, I decided that art is the best way for me to go. And as a child I always wanted to work for Disney or do the Sunday comics. Well, now I don't think it will be either of those, but I do want to animate. So right now, all my money and my life is being thrown into my art - all forms of art in order to improve. Cartoons aren't as easy as they look.

Back to the subject of sewing, hopefully, if I can do one thing one day and one thing another, I will be able to make my boyfriend some shirts. I feel so bad for not making them or finishing the mock up and he bugs me almost everyday about it. So if I sew anything, that will be my first order of business.
