I started sewing when I was a young girl. I remember my mother standing over me telling me that I had to be careful and to slow down so that I did it right. I hated going slow and so I gave up home sewing. I started a job at a baseball hat factory when I was in high school . I learned how to sew with and industrial sewing machine. I loved it they were fast and I didn’t have my mother standing over me. She did work in the same place though. I learned a lot at that job about how to take pride in what I did. I went to work at La-Z-Boy. It was a lot different than the hat factory. I had a bigger industrial sewing machine and a lot harder stuff to sew. I learned a lot about designing and how to use different shape to make a product. I love to sew it helps me to clear my mind. I love to take pride in all that I do and I want people to like what I do. I guess that my mom was right that I did need to be careful and enjoy what I was doing.
