Sam Gouveia is a 9-year-old boy whose parents have always supported him with his craft – sewing.

A Sad Experience

Sam had experienced getting bullied in Kindergarten for wearing red nail polish and taking an interest in sewing, but luckily, his parents have since taught him about self-love and acceptance.

Taking It Seriously

Sam took sewing classes at the Franklin Mill Store for six weeks, and when he’s finally shown the outcome to his parents, they were both proud and happy for him.

Aaron immediately tried on the shirt that fits perfectly to his size. It has a 70s collar and a beautiful pattern that, Sam says, goes well with his dad’s jeans.

Sam has now come a long way with his sewing skills. His interest in this craft was inspired by his Great-Aunt Val, and since his parents have always been supportive of him, it was quite easy for him to develop his skills even more.
