I love sewing for a lot of reasons…Working toward that end product that I made myself. I feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. It is a peaceful time of making order out of chaos. I also seem to have a fabric fetish-so I can indulge myself a little bit.
I am leaving a note in hopes to win a sewing book so that I can improve my skills…but with all the entries that I see today, I know I don’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hades of winning. Depressing waste of time.
Hi, I enjoy sewing again, it was something I had not done in years, just returned to the sewing machine in the past couple of years, can’t believe all the new techniques out there. I really need to upgrade to keep in touch with the pleasures of creating. Used to sew children’s clothes, now I get total enjoyment from making the “mini” 18" fashions. I really need the help from a new sewing guide, mine is over 50 years old! Hope I’m lucky.
I have always wanted to be able to sew. I would love to be able to buy your patterns and make these items for my daughter.
my grandmother and mother sewed. I’m relearning since my accident and wish to teach my kids to keep it “going” in our family
