I love sewing. My grandmother introduced me to sewing on her vintage Singer Sewing machine when I was very young. Now I have a granddaughter who loves playing with her American Girl dolls. My hope is to make pretty clothes for her dolls. I have learned a lot from your site on techniques on how to sew doll clothes. Especially the pattern hacks. I like the fact that there are so many ways you can add on a pattern to get a different look. I visit your site often. Thank you!

I enjoy sewing,and I would love to know more of the “hows” and “whys” of sewing to improve my skills. I have young granddaughters that I hope would like to learn how to sew someday.
