When it comes to hobbies most of my
friends play a sport, watch films or listen
to music. My hobby is a bit more unusual –
it’s sewing, and I make most of my clothes
and grandmother love it too. They teach
me to make lots of different things; not
just every-day clothes, but also special
clothes called ‘costumes’ – for parties and
special times of the year.
year and it’s always lots of fun. This year,
I want to make some Halloween costumes
for my brother and me. He wants a
Frankenstein costume and I want a
vampire costume!
Not many people my age like sewing, and
some people say it’s a boring hobby for a
young person, but when I show my friends
the clothes I make, they think they’re
brilliant. Some of them want me to teach
them how to do it and that makes me
really happy.
