Sheryl Knowles

December 30, 2020

I sew by hand, not machine, as a hobby and as artistic expression. Mostly I mend for my family and sew for my doll collection. I almost said “invent” for my doll collection, as I have very few patterns for the dolls that currently hold my interest (the ‘Maru and Friends’ lines) but have been knowns to piece together different patterns and drape what patterns I don’t have – to achieve the affect I want. As I have carpal tunnel from my career as a computer artist, it tends to take a month or more, working just a little at a time, to finish one dolly project. WISH I could work faster AND that I had ever learned to crochet and knit. Still, I make do with the skills I have.
