Stitching Clothes

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 in , , , ,
[WARNING: Dinky Mind's in the mood of bragging today, so don't be jealous :P]

Alhamdolillah I know cooking (at least I can satisfy my tummy meter), I know baking (I've got a few specialities too :P), I'm good at studies, I know driving, I know shooting and I'm pretty good at all the other household chores too (Remember, I enjoy doing laundry and ironing clothes? :P). But there's one thing I don't know and that's Stitching clothes!!! Like not even 1% do I know about it. I just can't cut a cloth piece. Or stitch it. I just know how to pass a thread through a needle and stitch a button on a shirt. Okay, that makes it 1% now :D hehehe.

I'm 100% dependent on my Momma to stitch clothes for me. I rarely like ready-made clothes because they rarely fit me. And I don't even like clothes stitched by tailors. They either fit my shirts too much or stitch them on a fat woman's size :/ I can't tolerate such things. In the end I have to pay them for ruining my clothes. :/

So, that day, I asked Momma to teach me how to stitch.

Momma: *her immediate reaction* "Whaaaaat? You and Stitching???"
Me: *innocently* "Just for a change?" :p

I can't brag about anything related to stitching. But it reminds me that in grade 6th, I once stitched an apron (which is now neatly packed and placed with my other dowry stuff). Hahahaha. :D Oh, and I did not make it using a sewing machine. We had to hand-stitch it :/ That's probably THE only thing I've ever stitched (wait till Dinky Mind recalls anything else) :P

Prayers needed for this Dinkum.

Cheerio folks =)

Cool :D I also have a hand stitched apron..from school days! (er, basically the design on it...that was stitched..the apron itself wasn't)

~Ubaid: Non, c'etait français :P

~Chumpoo: Hahaha. I was just in the mood of bragging. And what would my susral walay do with my shooting? :D That would scare the hell outta them, no? :P

~Asma: Lol. Cool yer. :D I have tried half a dozen tailors and I seriously don't have the strength to get more of my dresses ruined :( I'm a silly perfectionist =(
