My Mama was a prolific sewer! We had 5 kids in our family, 4 of whom were girls! My great uncle worked at a fabric mill and got her bolts of fabric for next to nothing, so she was always sewing. At the beginning of the school year, she made us all new back-to-school outfits, and we all got matching dresses for special holidays (and my brother got a matching shirt)! She also made us matching nightgowns and pajamas for our traditional Christmas Eve “hanging the stockings” pictures. We all loved the clothing she made for us and looked forward to getting new Mama-made things. There was so much love embedded in them! <3 She taught me to sew at a very young age and I loved it from the beginning! Starting out with simple pillowcases and blankets for my dolls, advancing to clothing for myself, then my children, and now my grandchildren. When I make things for my granddaughters, I almost always make matching outfits for their dolls! Making Grammy-made things for them and their dolls makes me feel warm inside, especially when they love them and want to put them all the time! <3

Sewing let’s me relax and be creative. I donate the finished garments to a foster care group and that makes me feel good— makes them feel good—-it’s a win all the way around
My favorite thing about sewing is that it carries on a tradition that I was raised with—sort of a “make-do” kind of attitude. We couldn’t afford store bought when I was young, but I always had the idea that “home-made” was better than “store bought” anyway! Sewing means we can have things that aren’t made commercially.
