Sewing Efforts Maybe Awkward but Deserve Rewarding

"Sewing efforts awkward at best"

Webster’s defines the word klutz as “a clumsy, awkward person.” I expected to see my name listed as an example following the definition, but, thank goodness, it was not there.

Have you ever wished you excelled at something, that in one area you performed exquisitely, that the word “brilliant” might precede your name in a discussion of your specialty in life? Too bad wishing does not make it so.

I was thinking of the word klutz and how it applies to me this morning while making breakfast for my husband and me. I decided, in the name of better cholesterol health, to scramble three eggs instead of four, with the larger portion going to my hubby. It was a simple and straightforward plan, but the rules of klutzdom would not let the simple plan work. One of the eggs had two yolks!

While cursing the thwarting of my healthful plan, I found myself smiling because as a young child from a poor family the gift of two yolks in one egg was always a happy surprise and made for a richer-tasting breakfast.

All of this klutzful thinking came about because I am taking an alteration course through Fayetteville Technical Community College. The other women in this class are skilled at altering dressy church attire and suit jackets."

I love it when people give sewing a go. They are usually amazed at what they can achieve and even though things don't always go right at the start, with some perserverance the rewards will come.

Sewing always reminds me of professional sports persons, they all have their bad days and so do sewers, nobody's perfect.

So if you have had what you think is your share of disasters with your sewing, don't give up, perservere, the next project could be your masterpiece.

Take care
