I love to sew because it takes me back to when my Grandma and my Great Aunt used to sew for me when I was a child. They taught me so many things, and it is something that I am trying to teach my 3 granddaughters, so they can remember me when I am gone!
I love sewing because it is a wonderful reminder of the time I spent with my Mum who died 27 years ago when I was a young Mum. When I sew it bring a warm feeling of when she taught me how to sew at the age of 9. My 8 year-old Grand-daughter is wanting to learn how to sew now so I hope she has the same wonderful memories learning to sew with me.
Sewing is very creative, and the result can tell a lot about you…fun loving, playful, serious and impressive, active, detailed, comfortable and laid back. Just about anyway that you want to feel with your creations. I love to sew for dolls and stuffed animals; to decorate and refurbish with pillows, curtains, cushions; to give back with quilted scraps for charity; to relax and keep busy.
I love to sew because it’s fun to be able to take a piece of fabric and a pattern and make something to actually wear.
I love to sew because it is so exciting to start with nothing but fabric and end up with something wearable! Plus it is way less expensive to clothe my daughter’s AG dolls with home sewn clothes!!! Not to mention more fashionable with Liberty Jane patterns!
