It is one of my creative outlets. It makes me feel so good to produce a finished piece that I know is one of a kind. I just love to feel my creative juices flowing. It also helps me to keep an open mind which I find helps me be more creative. My sewing skills have also helped to bring in some extra money which I need since loosing my job to age discrimination.
Why I love sewing…. It is the one way that I am sure that I can have clothes that fit my daughter… and still have enough fabric left over that we might be able to dress her dolls. And it is a great time to spend bonding with my mother and daughter… It gives us time to spend without TV, phones…. or anything else that tends to distract us and allows us to work towards making something beautiful out of scraps…
I love sewing because it is relaxing and I enjoy the smiles on my little girls’ faces when I make new clothes for their dolls. What a great giveaway! Thanks for giving methe opportunity to win.
I enjoy sewing because I like making different types girls dresses and mixing different patterns and creating a different style . Most of all the joy that come when I give it away. I have begin to make matching doll outfit so that make it even more special.
I love sewing because it gives me the chance to design my own things. To create my own ideas.
