I started making doll clothes for my daughter while we stationed in Japan. This was in 1964. At the time, there was really no place to buy the doll clothes to fit the Barbie dolls, so I started doing it for her, and the next thing I knew, other mothers were buying my doll clothes. Even my seamstress (everyone had one then), gave me scraps of beautiful fabrics, if I would make clothes for her daughters Barbie. Now I just do the 18" doll clothes as a hobby and stress reliever. I do one craft show a year, and enjoy seeing the little girls going thru the dresses, etc. just to find the right one for their dolls….
I quilt, sew, and knit as a hobby and I spend about 10 hours a week doing my crafts.
I see costumes for our middle school drama club during the productions it can be 2-3 hours per day. I also teach our crew how to sew as well. I knit and crochet as a stress relief whenever I have free time usually on the weekends when not in production for 3-4 hours. During the summer I see doll clothes for fun and to try to maintain my dexterity. I can spend 5-6 hours a day on projects when I focus.
I sew primarily as a hobby for my girls and their dolls. But I only sew a few days a month.
I sew mainly as a hobby. I spent 2-3 hours per week but that can increase depending on what project I’m doing.
