I love to sew clothes for my daughter’s AG dolls and my Hitty and Riley dolls. It’s so satisfying to see the finished product and know I did it myself.
I love to sew because, while I am working with fabric, I am in my element. I love fabric and have making things out of it for as long as I remember. My grandmother did beautiful handwork and taught my mother to sew. She in turn taught me and for that I am forever grateful.
I love sew because I used to think, Miri, you need to buy everything. Now, though, I’ve seen your products and other places that do things using sewing. I hardly know how to sew though! I had to have my grandmother teach me, and she only taught me the basic ‘in-out’ stitch. So, this book would be very helpful to me. Now, I’m not always buy this and buy that. I want to genuinely learn to sew, and this book is perfect for me, a beginner. And every time I create something, even a poorly stitched doll dress, it gives me pride.
Can’t say I love sewing yet but I love the challenge because it doesn’t come naturally to me. I hope to finally sew well enough to be able to say “I Love Sewing” and make my granddaughters proud to say “my Grandma made it”
I love to create things with fabrics. I make doll clothes for my grandchildren and teach sewing as a special activity at the school where I teach technology. Kids are interested in learning to do things with their hands and create in the real world as well as the digital world and sewing is a way to do that.
