December 30, 2020

Lately I have been doing a lot of alterations and repairs for friends and family non gratis so as for running a business I guess I’m not very good. I don’t particularly like doing it so I wouldn’t consider it a hobby. I did make and sold American Girl doll clothes when my sister owned a toy shop and made some extra $. I also worked for Ashton Drake Galleries which was a paying gig sewing doll clothes that I enjoyed. I sew whenever I can find time which is sporadic. I am hoping that there might be an Etsy shop in my future if I can ever get it together. :-)

Teresa-Jo

December 30, 2020

I sew primarily as a hobby. Throughout 2020 my time in my sewing room has varied. Creativity came to me in other ways; I refinished 2 vintage wood cabinets, tried deco mesh wreaths, did a cross stitch and sewed burrito style pillow cases for Christmas gifts as well as helped to stage two different homes for sale. I’ve only ever sold items (pillow cases, AG doll pj’s) at a craft sale in 2019 and there was a high level of interest which I hope to repeat in 2021. Donating & gifting is my thing. There is always something to do and Pixie Faire is always there to add to the list. Lol
