I've been drawing for years, at least since I was in middle school, but lately my skills haven't been at their best, so artwork is very rare anymore. I've been trying to develope my writing skills, which I started when I was in about 7th or 8th grade, but sewing has been taking up most of my time lately. I started sewing in 2007 when I felt the need to make my own costumes for anime conventions. The previous two years that I had gone to conventions, I was only altering existing clothing, but nothing ever looked right still. My skills have greatly improved, and I would love to some day start creating my own clothes that I have designed the last few years.
