At 5feet on my tip toes, I learned to sew out of necessity. Now I still sew for myself (I usually take 6" off a pair of slacks) but I also sew for the love of it. Sewing doll clothes is my passion, relaxation, and therapy. A day without sewing is just unthinkable!
I love sewing because I use to sit Nd watch my grandma sew when I was around 8. She would let me sew by hand, but not on her machine. I would spend time cleaning up and organizing her threads and fabric though. When I got older, I showed her my first machine project and the pride on her face said it all!!! I haven’t stopped since.
I started sewing when I was six and then in 4H. I started with doll clothes and I still like sewing them. I have some great nieces who want to learn and I think the book would be great for them. Sewing is a wonderful gift my mother gave me. I enjoyed it then and I still do.
I’m 64 years old and just now teaching myself to sew for my granddaughters’ AG dolls. I really DON’T KNOW WHAT I’m DOING. This book would be so helpful! Your patterns are so amazing! help!
I love to sew! My mother enrolled me in sewing lessons as a child with a woman who was a local tailor. Her exacting standards and the efficiency in which she created things has always been in the back of my mind – thank you Marilyn! and Mom! I love to sew – there is nothing quite like having an original quilt, pillow case, dress or set of doll clothes for your daughter to play with.
