Why I Decided to Start Sewing

Sewing

Last fall I ordered a Deadpool costume online and after wearing it to a costume wedding I discovered the back seam had come undone. I needed to wear it again for Halloween so I needed to sew it back together. I looked up how to do it on YouTube and went and got myself a sewing kit. After successfully fixing the hole in the butt I said to myself: I’m going to become a regular haberdasherist!

Now let’s jump back to Christmas time. I got a wad of cash from my daddy and wanted to blow it on things I didn’t need. Something was telling me I needed to own a leather jacket. Well I still don’t own one. All the designs I was looking at just wasn’t right for me. So I thought back to the sewing thing and started to look up sewing a leather jacket. So to my astonishment one could purchase themselves a hide of leather and sew a sick jacked at home! And for a lot less then what all these stores online would make me pay.

So after seeing all of this I decided to search YouTube for videos on How To Sew. Well I found a bunch of really good videos with some very detailed information. So from there I decided to purchase a sewing machine on Amazon and now I spend some of my free time devoted to this new passion on mine.For anybody that knows me, sewing is not something you would picture me doing. In fact I’m a little surprised myself that I got interested in this. But I needed something to occupy my time. With most other aspects of my life being virtual I needed something tangible that I could do with my hands. So after some strange occurrences a new passion is born.

So here is how it all got started. I was scrolling through Facebook and there were an abnormally high number of adds for designer Jeans coming up. So I decided to click on them because who doesn’t want a pair of amazing Jeans, right!? One of the sites I clicked on had video of the company making the jeans. So I became interested in how a pair of jeans were made because it looked so complicated only a pre-programmed robot could do it. But once I started watching some videos on YouTube I said to myself, that doesn’t look so difficult!

It’s been a few months since I moved into the basement and moved here with the primary intention of saving for a down payment and improving my financial position. I’ve made a lot of progress to that end and now I’m focusing on the second phase. I’m going to break this down into 3 components. These are the three areas of my financial plan to buy a house.

I uploaded a new YouTube video! I recorded this last week before I went to Bangor. I got excited and sat down to practice filming. This isn’t perfect and I didn’t bother replacing the audio from the camera with the lapel microphone. But here it is! Help me out my watching it and going and subscribing to my channel!

I did it. I uploaded my first video to YouTube. I don’t think it’s anything impressive but I bit the bullet and did it. I’ve included my first video in this post. There is a very high chance that the video will only be available on this post at some point in the very near future. haha!
