I love sewing because alll the women in my family were excellent sewers. When I was five, my aunt started teaching me to hand sew clothes for my Tiny Tears doll. I was too young to gauge the correct size but I made a dress anyway, It took lots of fixes but I loved it. Later my grandmother taught me to sew using her treadle Singer. I made lots of my own clothing. I love the creativity of choosing the fabric, the style, and the trims. I even made lots of clothes for my children when they were younger. I moved into doll clothes and I love making them I am grateful that you have written a book for sewing because I respect the clothes and patterns that you creat for American Girl dolls. They got me interested in sewing again. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of your books..
I love to sew because it is relaxing and therapy for me
I am in my own world of doll making when I am at the sewing machine
Hope to win! Congrats!
I love sewing because it’s one of my many creative outlets that is both stressful and stress-relieving!
I love sewing because it gives me an excuse to buy/drool over patterns and fabric. Keep up the good work.
I love sewing because I can make something unique, and I love to see the joy on my daughters face when I make them something! Also it’s a great way to bond with friends who also love it, even if we’re all beginners!
