I sew and knit primarily as a hobby and for charity. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a week sewing, but hoping for more this year as I FINALLY have a nice sewing/craft room. Working on getting it organized first!
I started making my own clothes when I was in Junior High School almost 50 years ago. I made clothes for my younger brothers as well. After I was married I started making clothes for my boys and my nieces. In the late 70’s I started a small hobby business making baby doll and Barbie clothes. When I learned about American Girl, I started sewing for them and never stopped. I do a couple of craft shows a year selling AG, Bitty Baby and Wellie Wisher’s clothing. I also crochet in my spare time as something to do while I watch TV. I spend about 5 hours a day in my sewing room.
I sew primarily for my home based business which has spanned almost 50 years . I have a major love for sewing and creating. Previous to 2006 I owned and operated a Seamstress Salon specializing in dressing brides and clients for their rememberable events in their lives. Closing the salon that year, retiring and relocating I turned my attention to primarily sewing doll fashions and accessories for little girls and big girls too which are sold at Doll Shows and like events. Doll Patterns throughout the years were difficult to obtain especially any type of historical outfit. When I discovered this site I was overjoyed that finally someone offered doll patterns to fit the historical eras of life. You see I was a curator and historian also once upon a time and kinda partial to the Victorian age.. How many hours do I sew per week – it can depend if it is Doll Season- maybe up to 40 hours. To all of you at Pixie Faire thank you for starting this website and for your love of dolls and sewing.
I sew and do lots of needlework primarily as a hobby. In the winter I average 20 hours or more per week. I have two honourary Grand daughters and now two of my own to sew dolly things for. Retirement is wonderful!
I sew primarily as a hobby. On average I don’t spend nearly enough time sewing. Its been quite some time since I’ve had my sewing machine out but with the gift of an American Girl doll for my daughter this holiday the sewing bug has begun again so I can make outfits for her. I hope to spend a few hours per week getting back into it.
