Anything Under The Roof

I have cravings for FABRIC. Hah! You think it's craving for food. Whenever  I started sewing a dress, pairs of skorts, pants,  shorts and blouses I don't want to stop until the fabric is finished into something that I can wear. Then I began with sewing again not with new fabric but with my slightly used clothes. House dress that I'm so tired to wear because it's so boring already have to do alterations. From a dress to a pair of shorts.

I know, had been to Fabricland  and bought that delicate textile. That was completed. Finished outfit in few hours.

Sewing is like driving. I don't drive. I should not drive. I felt like a car race driver when I'm sewing. And I might be driving all day and night for no apparent reason.

If I have a reliable, brand new sewing machine, I could finish a beautiful party gown in just one hour. My sewing machine is now 6 years old. It needs a technician to do the cleaning and inspection inside its parts. My sewing machines before were Kenmore and Singer brand. The first sewing machine I had was the Kenmore brand bought from Sears in 1992. It has 5 year warranty. I sewed some of maternity dresses and pair of pants using that Kenmore sewing machine. Maternity clothes are very costly in Canada. In the 90's the cheapest maternity dress is worth $50 + tax. Would you believe that the price of clothing and accessories were costly, almost everything is costly and there's no place where you can haggle. Discounted price goods? Where? Not in small community. SEARS Company is the only source of  high quality goods and services. Well, until they closed down for business! I think in today's standard of living, a heightened height of poor economic condition who can afford pricey clothing, shoes, bags and appliances and furniture? Okay show me your wealth if you are rich. When they go high, we tend to go somewhat low and you'll find out who are your true real friends, family and relatives.

  What is more important in our time , in our generation is affordable housing with reliable appliances, with all the utilities that you can afford and rooms that your family can live harmoniously, well of course with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with toilet bowls. Thus, one old woman in the community advised that each child should preferably has a room of his own and a bathroom. It's for your own safety, sanity and good health. It's a Canadian way of health sanitation!!!!!!!!! Males should have their own bathroom and females should have their own bathroom. Men have their own way of using bathrooms and that's the reason why men should not use the women's bathroom.

Now, there are too many stores to choose from where you can purchase anything. My Singer sewing machine is good too. the brand speaks for its good quality. I used that machine so many times in my sewing project until it broke down in 2012.

At present time I use Brother brand sewing machine bought in 2012. It has quality assurance of course. For about six years the Brother sewing machine doesn't bother me until lately the bobbin is "acting up" and the needle gets dis-aligned or misaligned when it hit the press tab and from there if I don't watch out the needle gets crooked or the needle breaks and God knows where the broken needle will hit, my face or it gets stuck under the bobbin.

Sewing can be very addictive especially when you are born creative and artistic. It runs in the blood.
I can sew all day and night then realized I have a family who are waiting for their lunch and dinner meals.

When sometimes don't feel like eating. I'm overweight now. Eating can be very addictive too. Ha ha! I'm not a member yet of "Overeating Anonymous" nor the Overweights. Thank God!

Anything under the sun and under the roof. Wow! That's a catchy phrase for a book.
