I love to sew because I love creating new things. It is relaxing and rewarding. I would love a copy of your book because I love your patterns and I can always improve how I sew. Congratulations on the new book!
I love to sew. There are so many things that you can make and design when you are sewing. I just started to sew recently and this book would help. Thanks for the great website.
I love sewing because I have always loved to be crafty, my grand-mother started teaching me when I was 9 and I try to teach my grand-daughters (8 and 12) when I get to see them. I had a massive heart attack and now am home. I was doing nothing but, I guess waiting to die, then one day my sweet little grand-daughter (now 9 from Va) called and said, “Maw-Maw”, I need some doll clothes for my American Girl Dolls. Who could resist that tiny little voice so, I made her over 500 pieces in all and mailed them to her for her birthday. I love my grand-children as we all do, I just don’t get to see my too often. I have to stay busy, hate TV, there aren’t any craft shows on anymore, don’t like to read unless it is about crafts or what I am doing. I would love to learn more about sewing. I took old clothes apart and other things to make some of the things because financially I can’t afford much new material and where I live you can’t buy any. I paint and just love to create. Thank God, for that tiny little voice on the phone about a year ago. Don’t know how much longer I have but, until the time comes I will be sewing for my grand-children things that they can pass on to generations to come.
Want to win the great book! I want desperately to pass on my love of sewing to my three daughters. Only one seems to have the inclination though…
