Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly.

What are the benefits of knowing how to sew?


I learned how to sew when I was in high school when I needed to take up a course that was required during my time for home economics. I had decided to pick sewing as I always saw my mom sew our clothes when we're young during that time we had no money to buy clothes that was bought from a department store.

We lived off from only one income which my mom was only a housewife who took care of us and she also started taking care of other children who became our friends as we had grown up.

The benefit of knowing how to sew now that we are unable to go shopping and buy new set of clothes as my clothes are falling off my waist I have been sewing my clothes to adjust it back to my size.

When you know how to sew you can make a lot of things to keep yourself busy as my friends are making homemade facial mask for their personal needs as well giving or selling it to their friends.

The benefit we can put our time and creation when we are sewing and time flies fast as we are sew something up.

I have a friend who uses old scrap of fabric to make into reversible coaster and she gives it away to her family and friends as a homemade gift.




When you know how to sew no matter what is all made by you in what ever you plan to make from your own sewing machine.
