I LOVE IT! You are so talented.

This tattoo is cute! I actually have an entire sewing-themed sleeve in full color on my arm. I’m 22, and have been a professional seamstress for 14 years. You’ve probably seen my work in Disney shows and parks (I spent 2 years doing costumes for them)! Now I work at a vintage clothing store, and we provide many of the clothes for Mad Men. When people ask what I’ll do about my tattoo when I get old, I say, “I’ll probably still be sewing, maybe even more!” :D

I love this one!
Would have looked great in my sewingstudio.

And Louise: Wow what a fantastic job you seem to have landed! Here in Sweden the rivalry for sewing jobs is really high due to the fact that it’s such a fun job and nobody want’s to retire when it’s their time from the few slots that are available. My dream has always been to move abroad a couple of years and see what else is out there.
If you have any tips of any kind on how to go about working as a seamstress in your country I would be much grateful if you could send them to me at info@jannadrakeed.com

Thank you!

Louise: Your job sounds amazing! I’m incredibly jealous :) You probably know I’m a huge Disney Park fan, and Mad Men is one of my favourite shows.

This is SO nice! Am I allowed to print it and make a bookmark for myself?
Wishing you a lovely weekend. :)

Sure, go ahead! Thank you :)
