My love affair with sewing...
August 02, 2008
From a little girl I was used to see lots of fabrics, sewing needles, yarns, thimbles and other materials and tools around me. At the age of five I made my first stitches by hand, and at nine I was already seated at the ancient sewing machine of my mom. Do you remember the ones with pedal? I loved it!! When I became 13 years old I took a seamstress course in the famous Academy Delego & Lagarrigue, one of the most important of Argentina. It lasted 3 years, and this way I fell more in love with sewing. At high school they were giving us classes of sewing and knitting by hand too. The years passed, and when I finished high school I started law college and little after that I began to take some painting classes.
Since you will imagine, I was loving design; I was feeling fascinated by all the opportunities that it was offering me to express my creativity. After three years, I dropped law. At the same moment I met the one that was going to be my dear husband, Walter Bravo. We both had 19 years at that time. We get married at 23, and when we were 27 came the possibility of sending my husband as a manager of an Argentine company of leather jackets (where he was working) that had been set here. This way it began my wonderful adventure in this country to which I love so much and gave me everything that I have.
