I love to sew because it brings such satisfaction that I did it myself.
I love sewing because it lets me be creative in a fun way! When my grandma taught me how to sew 5 years ago I never would have dreamed that at 16 years old I would have a small business. My friends are a little jealous that I have a fun way to make money without having to have a “real” job. One of my favorite thing is to see girls come up to my booth with a HUGE smile on their face! I will never get tired of seeing little girls be so happy when they can buy an outfit or If they find an outfit similar to one of theirs. Definetly makes me very happy that I listened to my grandma while she taught me how to sew. Makes it all worth while! And that why I love to sew.
As a little girl I would always watch my mother sew on her treadle sewing machine being one of twelve it seams like she was always fixing or making something.
I love to sewing in every way cutting the project sewing it together adding my special ideas and seeing the project finished it just thrills me to see someone open a gift that I have sewed and see that they love it puts a smile in my heart.. I love to teach little girls how to sew that way it will keep passing the art of Sewing along to the next generation I have two little neighbor girls who love to help me make clothes for their AG dolls they aren’t old enough to sew by machine yet but they are eager that just thrills me to know that I helped them get started sewing, life is great when you can pass a little of your self to someone that is eager to learn…
Thank you for the giveaway

Thank you
I love sewing for my granddaughters that is doll clothes. It is my therapy….Cotton therapy is what I call it. For the most part it is relaxing and I get to learn at the same time.
I love sewing because I can create a style that I do not see other people make. And the challenge, and joy that it brings me, is amazing. I learn on my mistake on every single project.
