I’m not a beginning sewer, but a returning sewer who has forgotten all she knew 40 years ago. I just got an 18" doll to sew for her, then I’ll give her and her wardrobe away. But, I have no idea how to sew something that small. I always sewed clothes for myself.
I love sewing because I can take a few pieces of scrap fabric and turn it into a purse, a doll dress or what ever my imagination can come up with.
I love sewing matching clothes for my granddaughter and her American girl dolls. She is always so excited to see what I’ve made. She now wants to learn how to sew!
I love learning, and there is so much to learn about in all types of sewing.
I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. I can’t imagine not sewing! It’s so creative! I make clothes (well, not so much) doll clothes by the ton, quilts, home décor, dolls, name it – it’s such a creative release!
