My mom was the seamstress in the family. The creator of beautiful dresses,skirts and at one time a wedding dress for my cousin.

Me, at the time, I was too busy criticizing what she did.

I hated seeing her struggling over a bad stitch, sweat running down her nose in the hot island air.

Well, she once sewed because she loved it, then it became more as a second job to put food on the table for us.

After having a family of my own and a very supportive husband I would still complain "I hate to sew". I am by no means a seamstress, unlike my mom my talent is limited to what you see here :) I am self taught and a bit of a perfectionist. Not too proud of that though, It can be frustrating sometimes. But I wouldn't sell something that I wouldn't buy.

Everyday when I am sewing at my machine I wish she was still around to ask for tips on how to cut, sew, choose the right fabric.

I could see her looking down on me from Heaven smiling saying " I thought you hated to sew?" in her strong Trinidadian accent.

I am so happy to be on mycraft.com. I Hope to sell a lot in my etsy shop and make good friends.
