About my Sewing

Hello again!
So, in my previous post I mentioned that I love to sew and that this blog would be dedicated to that aspect of my life.
I learned to sew from my maternal Grandmother when I was about 8 or 9 years old. She taught me each step from beginning to end, and helped me with all the little problems and hiccups in between. We started small and simple, then progressed to more difficult projects. She always asks me whenever we see each or talk to each other if I have done any sewing lately.
My interests in sewing lie mostly in sewing everyday clothing from patterns, but I also find great joy in sewing historically oriented clothing. The project that I have been working on most recently is an Edwardian ensemble. I had nothing from this time period at all, so I had to start completely from scratch. So I bought the fabric and patterns and other notions and got to work on all the layers from the inside out. First I sewed the corset, then the chemise and drawer combinations, and then the blouse. The last pieces I need are the skirt and belt, which I haven't gotten to yet.
