The beginning was quite interesting. It's not a classic story about big dreams, fantasies, hours of learning (although the latter accumulated along the way), it's a much simpler story.

My then-girlfriend's toiletry bag got ruined, I looked at it and thought to myself, "I can do that," smiled, and put it away.

A day or so later I saw it again and thought, "Let's give it a try."
And that's how it all began :)

Well... I do admit that even as a small child, I would sew up a "wound" or two on my teddy bear, so I did know a thing or two from before :)
