I am man who doesn’t know how to sew. This blog will be a chronicle of my journey into the uncharted realm of sewing.
Sewing/Tailoring is in my blood line. My dad’s dad and my mom’s mom were both pretty prolific at sewing and it’s always been in the back of my mind as something I should get into. Fast forward 27 years into my life and I decide to make my own James Brown costume for Halloween.
I think it’s going to be an easy undertaking, I’ll just get a little help from my mom and grandma. My mom looks at me like I’m crazy and my grandma basically has me cut out the vintage patterns I had found while she does everything else. When you ask for help in my family it ends up being that the person helping is the person doing, and they won’t let you learn.
I then asked my grandma to teach me to sew. She told me it’s very hard to sew for men and that she couldn’t help me. Being stubborn, when I am told I can’t do something I have this innate need to do it.
Looking online and all over the resources for men’s sewing tips are very limited. Hopefully as this blog grows and I become a better sewer/tailor/seamstress it/I can serve as a resource to an under served part of the community.
