Oh this sounds like just the thing I need. I’m still learning to sew beyond a straight line. I need folks to literally draw me a picture sometimes before I understand how to do something. What I love most about sewing is starting off with this pile of weird shapes cut out of fabric. They go in one end and what comes out the other end is just real live magic to me. I love that feeling. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I learned to sew at age 9 and I’m 62 yrs old now. Sewing has been so fun to create and make so many things for my friends and family. I just love it!

I love sewing because it’s a way to be creative and never stop learning. I also love sewing because it’s something I can teach others. Congratulations on the book!
I can let my imagination go and create anything I want to, to the best of my ability. I can escape this world and leave all of my problems behind and enter into a new adventure everyday!
I love sewing because my mother taught me to sew and she left me a lifetime of knowledge and enjoyment and now that she is gone I think about her whenever I take a stitch on my quilts I make or listen to the humming of my sewing machine and I still strive at 55 to be as good of a seamstress as she was…..
