Earlier last year , I had the opportunity to go to the sewing basket in Newington. I love going there lots to choose from and I can move around in my wheelchair easily. My carer came with me and I picked up these.

I managed to get about 4.5metres of the woodland I made a cropped version of this jacket

The jacket is comfortable and warm it’s the right length for the wheelchair so that it works. Made it to wear on a Canberra trip.

I am sewing all the time depending on who is caring for me not all my carers sew. It is the only thing I feel connected with. When I am Sewing I can get my carers to do all I can’t ,under my direction so I still have control.

My life now consists of diminishing control, as my body loses function I am losing my ability to be independent.

I am completely reliant on carers for everything.

I see people less as they don’t come over. I now have my own disability van so I can go where I want to and get to all my appointments easily.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and get all that you need in the new year. I don’t know when my loss of function will be complete. So who knows if last Christmas will be my last . One day at a time.

Take care Happy Sewing 🙂

Sue
