197//365

            Me: most days.

My mom enjoyed sewing. When I had to go to my first wedding after her passing, I was holding onto a blouse she made to my outfit. I stared at it and was overcome with emotion that I buried my face into it and cried like I hadn’t in a long time. It was intensely emotional. To know every stitch had her hand on it was overwhelming, and my thoughts floated to her dreams and passions in life. I could hear her telling me if she could live life again, she would have been a fashion designer ringing in my ears as I cried.

I wish I captured photos of my mom sewing: from her cutting the fabric with a measuring tape around her neck, to sitting at the sewing machine, with excitement and curiosity as she watched the various stitch designs embed themselves in the outfits she was making. I wanted these photos not only so I could remember, but she could see how she looked when she was making her dreams come true, even in a small measure. So I took this photo of myself.
