I was in a head on collision with a 18 wheeler and sustained horrible injuries to my face along with others. The scarring was horrific and I was told I had to wait at least a year before I could get any cosmetic surgeries because of the other injuries that needed to completely heal. My self confidence went to the bottom of the barrel. I wouldn't go out of my home & covered my face even when my husband looked at me. What I saw in the mirror was a frightful monster ( of course looking at the only 2 photos of me from that time I looked worse to me than I actually looked but it was still really bad). My grandmum had taught me to sew and in my teen years after a death in my family I was struggling with. She, I and my friend would sew together for hours on end. It was a wonderful experience & we were both on top of the world with each finished project or new skill mastered. This same friend showed up at my door after my hubby called her in desperation with her arms loaded with bags of fabric, spools of thread & patterns galore. She said " We're sewing" and marched past me. I went to my bedroom and hid in horror. She & hubby dug out my sewing machine, set it up,made sure it was working then came to the bedroom and practically drug me to the dining room where she'd set us up. My machine on one side of the dining table, hers across from me. She fanned out patterns in front of me & said "pick". I said no & she replied she wasn't leaving until we'd done some sewing. She's always been insanely stubborn. So we sewed for a few hours. I had to admit I felt better. Not good but better. She came back nearly every day for 10 months to sew with me. As I tried on my new clothes I didn't see my face. I saw my new garment and beamed. The scarring turned from ugly red to ugly pink that could be mostly covered with a heavy foundation. She finally coaxed me out of the house about 8 months later to go to a fabric store. I was in heaven. I felt whole & good. Eventually I had a lot of cosmetic surgery and the only clearly visible remain is a long scar across my forehead I can cover with bangs. The rest I can mostly cover with a medium foundation. Sewing truly renews a broken spirit. A wonderful caring sewing buddy friend & sewing are what miracles are made of.
