Needlework contest: Things I want to learn or accomplish for the upcoming year

Hello, my beloved hivers, Happy Christmas and a prosperous new year! How are you all doing? I hope you are doing great.

I am so happy to be joining this end-of-year contest here in this wonderful community. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Things I want to learn or accomplish for the upcoming year. We all know that as humans, we all need success in life, and we need to strongly fight for it so that we can accomplish what we want because we can't wait for success to look for us; rather, we look for it with all our strength and effort.

I am a seamstress, but I'm not a professional one. I learn how to cut and sew in my town, and in the upcoming year, I want to learn how to cut and sew very well. I always give my friend my clothes to sew for me. Until one day, when I went to give her my clothes to sew for me, I asked her, How will I know how to shape some cloth? She said she would teach me, but I asked her how much she said was for free. But after one week, I started going to her shop. I stayed with her for over two months before she packed out. My mom asked me to go and learn how to cut and sew since I know how to use machines very well, and I agreed.

I went for training for 2 years, but it was with a man. He claims to sew both female and male dresses but was not too perfect at sewing a female dress. So after I get free with him, I go with the little I was able to do, so I travel from my village to two, and I discover I have not started.

So I was looking forward to gaining more ideas on how I can cut and sew very well, so I met one girl who knew how to sew very well. She asked me to join money with her to get a shop so that we could stay together, so I accepted her offer because she also promised to teach me during the process of staying with her. After I paid her 25 thousand naira, she ran away with the money, and I was very angry. Up until today, she refused to pick up my calls.

This is a beautiful dress she made when I met her in a shop. She was with someone, and that is why I was moved to learn with her. I used my phone to snap this.

For the upcoming year, I will love to look for another place to acquire more knowledge. I really want to learn curset, learn how to sew weeding dresses, and learn the current styles that people are wearing.

I will also want to learn how to crochet. I am really inspired by @kattycrochet and @romeskie the needleworkmonday moderator. I really love her work, and that moved me to have a plan to learn it.

I have one of my cousins who is really good at it; he gave this to my beautiful daughter.

I really want to learn how to cut and sew. I have seen the working place, and the lady knows how to sew very well, both male and female (unisex), and also knows this crochet work. Due to my sewing experience, I just want to use only 6 months plus for the learning.

After that, I will rent my own shop and also sell all the sewing materials so that I will be able to provide for my family.

See you all in 2024! God bless you all.
