Almost every day after school when I was done with my homework I remember going outside to play with my friends. We would ride our bikes around the neighborhood or play either hide and go seek or some kinds of sport. My childhood years for me were the best! I enjoyed every single day.
On rainy days or at night I remember taking out all my journals and books, crayons and just imagining all sorts of dresses. I would spend hours drawing and coloring big dresses, whether they were wedding dresses, party dresses or simple everyday dresses, I enjoyed it very much and hoped to grow up and be a clothes designer.
I remember watching TV and me laying in the living room floor just picturing dresses with big flowers and bold colors. Some had different patterns and then I would begin with sketching and coloring and adding shapes and flowers and beads here and there. When I was finished I would show it to my mom and then she would post it on the fridge door and I was very happy.
From drawing to coloring dresses I started wanting to actually begin cutting linen and try to sew. I asked my mother for help and permission and she would help me make dresses for my Barbie’s...of course it was more difficult than the drawings and I would become impatient.

When my first little dress was finally finished I was so happy and just wanted to keep making lots of clothes for all my dolls not just my Barbie’s and even for myself I used to love to go through fashion magazines and look at the clothes and when we went to the mall I always wanted to go in to the boutiques and just look at the dresses.
As I got older I stopped being so fascinated with drawing clothes in particular dresses and just drew different type’s art and I did get into drawing lots of eyes with shading and almost real look to them. I’m not the best artist and I stopped drawing for a very long time now.
childhood is my favorite too I wish I could go back in those times. You sound like you were an active kid I can relate to that too me and my dad would throw the ball or play hid and seek with my friends too and on raining days I mostly slept or watched tv or played board games. You sound like your very talented on coming up with dresses and just drawing I give you props for that because im a stick drawing person.
