I am a HUGE fan of Disney and this past summer we went on this backlot tour of the Hollywood Studios during our (almost) annual trip to Disney World and we got a sneak peek at the seamstresses that create the costumes for the characters. Disney is such a magical place for people to go to...a rite of passage in the U.S. I would love to be able to create those gorgeous costumes that are a part of the magic of Disney World. It's much different than what most people think of doing, but I would love to do that one day!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123779237747469831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-19453198629220743882010-11-28T14:40:57.638-08:002010-11-28T14:40:57.638-08:00A sewing/knitting lounge/cafe/fabric and yarn shop...A sewing/knitting lounge/cafe/fabric and yarn shop.

Then to teach low income women to sew - due to health issues and lack of grocery stores in low income neighborhoods, many of these women are overweight and have similar fitting issues to me.

I'd especially enjoy making people feel happy about what they are wearing. I guess my fantasies are a lot like yours, because I would also love to have a staff of 4-6 people. I'd enjoy mentoring co-workers who are passionate about sewing and I'd provide a friendly, creative & stimulating environment for them to blossom. In fact, it would make me happy if they'd leave after a few years to launch their own fabulous fashion lines. And I'd also enjoy using the studio for workshops and classes. It would be pretty sweet if any of my clients decided to enroll in classes and learn to sew. I guess the bottom line is that I would love to spread my passion for sewing and how great it feels to wear custom made clothing.<br />I admire how far you have gotten with your dream already!a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-16716529940934319152010-11-27T13:03:06.971-08:002010-11-27T13:03:06.971-08:00oh, to have the interior match the exterior of eve...oh, to have the interior match the exterior of everything I make.
