It’s not just sewing, it’s putting lives together one piece at a time.

My entire life I have pushed people around me to be better than they believed themselves to be.

As I self reflect, I see more and more evidence that learning to sew at a young age is a major reason for my optimistic world view.

I see big dreams and impossible challenges, not as objects of insurmountable magnitude, but as compositions of many manageable parts. The number of parts has become insignificant to me, because all of them are easy. I have come to embrace a concept that nothing is impossible, it just needs to be approached in smaller parts.

Sewing has transformed me from someone who viewed clothes as limited structures with ambiguous origins to someone who can control and manipulate every fiber of my daily interaction with the world. As I mastered sewing, I gained the unlimited power to influence the world’s first impression of me and the freedom to transcend the limitations of my resources.

I believe that giving people the opportunity to see the world in this way will allow them to be happier in their lives and more successful in their careers.

Sewing is a safe and potentially lucrative hobby that has had a tremendous impact on my ability to materialize my dreams, and I am very eager to help underserved and underprivileged communities DREAM SEW BIG.
