I always wanted to write a blog, but I never knew what to write about. Then I realized: I know some things about sewing! I could share with the world my absolute knowledge of the art of fashion and creation! I could teach both beginners and advanced seamstresses odd tips that will make sewing so much easier than anyone could have imagined!
Granted, my knowledge is not absolute, nor do I know a lot of the tricks that those who have been sewing for decades know. But I figured I would give it a try, since different people pick up different tips as they venture out and try new things in the art of sewing. And so my mediocre but diverse knowledge of sewing, machines, design, fabrics, etc. is what this blog is to be about.
First, I thought I would introduce myself a bit. My name is Mari. I’ve been sewing for about six years now and have a business called Plaidypus (which is not yet popular enough to come up if you google it, sadly, but if you google Plaidypus Fort Collins, I found out it will come up then!) which I use as a creative outlet to make interesting new things and sell them if I find that I like them. I’m still in small things like headbands and handwarmers and hats currently, but my dream is to get into more clothing and sell it somewhere and perhaps make a bit of extra money from it.
I don’t have as much time as I’d like to sew since I am a full time student at Colorado College, which does tend to take up a lot of time, but I’ve found that sleep is much less necessary than previously thought! I wouldn’t suggest losing sleep over sewing unless you absolutely love it, though!
When I was younger, I wanted to be a writer, and so this blog is something that can bring it all together for me, and get me back into writing, as I am rather rusty at the moment.
Enjoy!
