“My name is Sarah, and I live with my husband and children in Chicago, Illinois,” our today's heroine writes, she sews bags and talks about it online. “I started to blog because I like to sew.” According to Sarah, the love of sewing for her is family: "My mother, aunt, grandmother - everyone sews." Sarah herself recalls that her first sewing experiences happened when she was in 3rd grade, but later this hobby faded into the background for a while.
“I started sewing again when my first child was born,” says Sarah. “I needed to take something in my evenings while the baby was sleeping. At first I did it a bit, setting myself the most difficult tasks, but then I got carried away that every free hour was given by sewing. "
Sarah says that her passion for sewing pulled her “out of the sink”: “I was a very shy person, and now my self-confidence has grown significantly. After all, I am doing what I could not even imagine what I would do before!” Now Sarah conducts master classes, publishes in magazines and has written two books based on her experience. "However, I still consult with my grandmother, and she can point out mistakes and give me advice," she says.
