Nothings ever easy

There are so many different components that go into making a garment:

First is the design. and a lot of people just think its drawing a picture of a pretty outfit but its not there is so much more. You need a lot of inspiration, you need to know how you will get into the garment, what the pattern will look like and working with the fabrics with the way they will fall once made into the garment, this is without thinking about children's wear and the safety precautions. 

I'v just finished drawing out some designs i'm going to create but i'm trying to keep it simple and just create a few designs that i can use over and over in different materials.

Little Miss Designs.

I have been finding getting going really difficult due to my little girl keep crying and being very clingy recently, but i'm getting there one step at a time. I just have to make sure i keep trying and i know everything will work out alright.

I have one garment down for the 0-3 month old's just a billion more designs and sizes to go.

Take a chance

I have always struggled to be myself around people, if it was friends family or strangers i just found it very hard for as long as i remember.

I have worked through this a lot but still find myself being very conscious of what people may think of me or say behind my back.

I watched a film a few years ago which had some very inspiring word that everyone should carry with them "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"

 (A Cinderella Story)

This has kept me growing in confidence everyday along with the help of people i have met on the way to where i am now. Instead of avoiding people and shying away i try to embrace life and make the most of everyday. Although i still worry i try to shake it out of my system and don't let it hold me back. I could have a huge influence on somebody else's life and never know.

I now have some fantastic friends that i know will be there for a very long time, an incredible boyfriend who cheers me up whenever i'm down (even if he caused it lol) and a brilliant family that will be there whenever i need them. But this wouldn't have been possible if i never took a chance.

So i am asking you, wait no, i am telling you to take a chance in life and don't worry about what others may think of you, it will only hold you back and stop you from being who you really are.

Time Flys

Have you ever found that when your bored with nothing to do time just drags on for what seems like forever!

I spent days being bored and unsure what to do. All i did was watch television and one hour seemed like five. I just could not get my act together.

I have now been given the motivation, not that i encourage people to get pregnant, but my baby has given me such a huge push to do what i want. 

 There are many approaches to motivation: physiological, behavioural, cognitive, and social. It's the crucial element in setting and attaining goals. Research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control.

I encourage you all to make that first big step whatever it is as you only start to live when you do something with your life. don't just sit saying you don't know what to do, get out there and find out what you like. if the first thing you do isn't what you want move on and try something else.

The only person stopping you is you.

man around the home

The past couple of weeks my man has been on holiday from work, 'fantastic, an extra pair of hands', so i had thought. 

I ended up being more stressed and worn out than when i was just looking after my baby. In between the doctors appointments, family visits and baby groups the Xbox was on constantly, baby was crying what seemed like all the time and the house was piling up with unwashed plates and rubbish.

It drove me crazy i was ready to explode.

Luckily he had picked up on this and sent me away from it all for a day. i decided to spend it with my sister, we went to the cinema and saw 'the hunger games', which i have got to say is a really good film, you should go and see it if you haven't already. I loved having a day to myself but by the end i just couldn't wait to see my little girl. Before i had her i didn't realize how wrong it would feel without her being with me, its as if my arm was missing. Anyway this calmed me down and i was full of energy again, able to start making patterns for my new clothes. I now have a complete dress which will be a gift for friends who are due to have a baby in 3 weeks. its not a lot but its a good start to building my career up.

He is now back at work and order is restored.

 I admire you women that have more than one child and can keep everything ticking comfortably.

You should all be proud of yourselves.

Sweet Beginings

So here it is.... I have Just had a baby girl and so i am at home pretty much all the time, which means i can do almost anything i want in between looking after my little girl.

I left school with the dream of becoming a designer and i went to various colleges to study fashion. Going to college brought out such a huge desire to open my own shop selling my own creations but i have always had the trouble of having no money or no space to create and also not being sure what i wanted to create. After having my baby she has been a big push to begin making baby girls clothing, so that it is affordable, not over charged and a little bit different.

I am now going to embark on this adventure with all the difficult and exciting trials i go through with you. 

so keep reading we never know what will happen.
