About the page author
“My name is Julia (or Julie), and I really like to sew,” our heroine introduces herself. “I love to sew so much that I can stay up until late at night when I want to finish the dress. I like to sew so that I can forget about food and rest "If it’s impossible to perfect any stubborn seam in any way. When I am in front of the sewing machine, the world around me seems to disappear - that's how I like to sew."
Julia says that such a passion for creating clothes did not always burn. “The first thing that I sewed myself and dared to put it on people at least once was a blouse. I sewed it for 2.5 hours a week every day - it took 10-12 hours. Before that, there were two more experiences - unsuccessful, those things are impossible "The first thing that I consider really successful was a linen vest - I wore it several times already." Julia recalls that she forgot about sewing, then returned to him, doing an average of 3-4 items of clothing per year. The situation changed when she decided to graduate from sewing school. Classes took enough time, I had to study after work, training took two years - but the knowledge gained turned Julia's hobbies into her passion.Now our heroine constantly sews and shares her projects on the Internet, including on her Instagram page.

Our heroine sews clothes primarily for herself, both using ready-made patterns, and changing them or coming up with models on her own. Julia pays particular attention to quality workmanship. “I remember, I was just starting to sew, it was about 10 years ago,” she recalls. “And I decided to sew a coat. To begin with, I always had a pear-shaped figure, which makes it difficult to sew on standard patterns. Then, my sewing skills were in their infancy. I didn’t know how to iron properly. The fit was terrible, the ironing also, the lining was bad, very bad - in short, the coat turned out to be so-so. Although I was not happy with this coat, several times I he wore it all the same - and saw how my friends were looking at him (“Tell her that the coat looks bad or not?”). In general, I took the coat out of sight, vowing to learn how to make high-quality clothes that I can wear with his head raised, proud of my work. " Now, Julia demonstrates perfectly executed things and details without hesitation, really proud of her clothes.
