Tell me what efforts you have made to realize your dream?

Since 2016, I have been thinking about making several trousers prototypes to compare the styles. I also want to make a few shirts to practice putting on shirt collars systematically, and I also want to make a beautiful floaty one. As a leader, I also had to make a pair of slim-fitting trousers, down jackets that I had never made before, and a lapel-collar coat that was a bit lacking in craftsmanship... But at that time, I was working full-time and had some part-time jobs, so the rest of my time was still available. I have to take care of children to do housework, and the time allotted for handicrafts is very limited. From time to time, I would think of doing handicrafts as my main business, but I have never gathered enough courage. One day when I was having dinner face to face with my child, I was thinking: In the future, she must learn the major she likes and engage in the industry she is interested in! But I suddenly realized that I had become the kind of parent who pinned my dreams on my children! This kind of parents is obviously the type of person I dislike the most. How did I become the kind of person I dislike the most!

So I seriously considered adjusting my work. Because my usual part-time job earns a lot of money and takes less time, if I devote all my full-time work time to handicrafts, I believe that my plate making and craftsmanship will soon improve! Then I discussed the work adjustment with my family, and my husband’s attitude was very clear: he supports my choice 100%! In this way, I became an unemployed young man in July. I thought that from now on, I would be in the rhythm of making clothes like crazy and making finished products. It turns out that I was totally wrong!

To suddenly have so much extra time for yourself, for a person who doesn’t know how to manage time, it will be a disaster! What a huge waste of time! During the seven, eight, nine and three months, I spent almost all my working days reading online novels. I felt at a loss about time management and how to realize my dreams, which made me feel like I was drowning. I just wanted to read online novels. Novels are a way to escape the present. At this time, I have to mention my child's father again. In the past few months, he never asked me what I did at home during the day and gave me complete trust, even though the things I did made me feel ashamed!

September 18th is our wedding anniversary. He happened to be on a business trip to Chongqing, so my child and I went to Chongqing with him to visit old friends. This trip was an opportunity. During the trip, I felt that I was completely focused on the present, not thinking about the past or the future, which allowed my previously tormented heart to be temporarily repaired. After returning to Beijing, it was the National Day holiday. , during the National Day holiday, I slowly hatched a small plan, which was to consume 80 meters of cloth in 100 days. I secretly bought a 100-day plan schedule online.

That’s how I started my 100-day cloth consumption plan. Since I added an oven at home, my time and energy have been transferred to baking. During the production process, I would carefully make almost every version. If the flat surface could not be printed well, I would cut it vertically, so the progress was very slow. Moreover, there were new knowledge points in each craft, so the progress was very slow at the beginning. By the end of November, I felt like my plan was about to fail! At this time a key figure appears! My mother-in-law is here from Hefei! The joy in my heart! Because my mother-in-law is a very hard-working woman, I felt that her arrival would definitely have a supervisory effect on me. Sure enough, we consumed 6 meters of cloth on the second day of her arrival, and then she was very fond of the shirt I made. I liked it. With her praise, I made three more shirts in one go. The finish of these three shirts was very good. The pattern and craftsmanship can be said to be comparable to the thousand-yuan shirts I bought. Even the pattern is better. Even better.

It was these outstanding shirts that brought me an opportunity, an opportunity to help me complete my plan!
