It's even funny how life develops: Now my work is connected with them, in general, I was always quite creative: cross-stitch, crochet, quilling, drawing ... At the same time, I looked at the beautiful fabrics in the stores and thought: if only something could be made from them! When I was little, my mother sewed clothes, but then I was not interested. And when my youngest child was born in 2010, I decided that I needed a new hobby. And my mother surprised me with a gift, presenting a role knife and other accessories for patchwork - Plus - I lent me my sewing machine and gave me some sewing lessons. Then I studied already, thanks to the Internet ... And if you go back from that time to the future, then: I feel incredibly happy that this activity became my job - if this in general can be called work.I do creativity all day, every day. "
