The New Directions in My Life (part 2) I didn't know how to make fully all those kind of suits, therefore I had to learn on the job. Each order I received was unique and new for me, but I knew that I would have to find all necessary information and would learn how to do that work. In this way I've got my work experience. Only when I started, it became clear that I am a creative person, who can make unique and unrepeatable clothes. Also, I learned how to communicate with clients, how to assess the value of work, how to work with different kinds of fabrics, and how to model and design the products. If I agreed to work as a seamstress in a factory, I couldn't start own business and didn't know what I can do myself. Despite all the difficulties, I was really enjoying my work. My customers always were very thankful for my work, because I helped them to realize their dream. When they participated in dance competitions or visited some special event in a new costumes, they took pictures and sent them to me. That allowed me to create a personal work portfolio and catalog of stage wear. The most popular and successful creations what I made were costumes for belly dances, which were sewn from lightweight, translucent and colorful fabrics. Belly dances costumes were gracefully embroidered with shiny beads and multi-colored decorative stones. Also, at that time there was appeared and increased the popularity of the new Cosplay. I took up sewing costumes of the characters of the animated cartoons and video games, such as robots and soldiers. Those orders have become demand and very successful, since those innovative cosplay suits could not be manufactured in the traditional studios by conventional techniques. It was rejoiced to see that my talent and working abilities have become useful to people, and my professional skills have become in demand. During getting all this experience, I grew up significantly as a professional and a person. I believe that after we accept failures and start to looking for new opportunities, we became able to find a proper solution for achieving career or personal goals. Ultimately, I realized that we shouldn't be afraid of failures and shouldn't agree with the circumstances, which we don't like. Instead of this it's better to focus efforts on what you want to do and have the courage to do that.
