In other news, now that I achieved a western salary I have spent nearly half a grand on sewing pattern catalogs and I'm going to filter out the best ones and try to locate them in my size. I'm going to get my hands on some swatches and my boyfriend will take me out shopping for fabrics one of these days. My sewing machine is in Bulgaria so I will bring that here and run some repairs and also get an overlocker. I have some big projects I will be working on and will brag to my balk buddies about my creations. Allah willing. >:3
