Even though she’s a bit better now, she’s still in pain and even with pain, she continues to be a mother, a wife & a designer . 

My mother has been sewing all her life, made clothes for herself, her sisters, her mom, I believe one of her brothers, her nieces, nephews and of course, her children (my siblings and I). She always made such cute clothes for my siblings and I, always wanted us to look our best, she has a natural eye for design & style, she even sewed our Halloween costumes once! I still remember that, I wanted a clown costume, and she made one for me❤️

Years later, in early 2000’s, one of my male cousins were going to get married, my mom made a black dress for me & that was my first dress I wore at a family party event as I always opt for dressy pants and a top, I was in my late teens.

In 2011, a female cousin was going to be wed, and I needed a dress and mother asked me what kind of dress I wanted and that she’d make one for me. I drew it up, two short pink version dresses, because I couldn’t make up my mind, and she helped me decide which one based on the pattern she knew and had from her Burda sewing magazines.
