I learned to sew through my local 4H club when I was a child. I love to sew but due to family and work situations was not able to do much for many years. i am now retired and have been making clothes for my grandchildren and their dolls. I am teaching my 11 and 7 year old granddaughters how to sew and they are learning to have fun with it like I did. I love your patterns and always check your site for new postings.
I have been sewing for a long time and started using the machine as soon as Mom thought I wouldn’t sew my fingers, about 60 years ago. I really like being able to sew for myself, family and dolls even if the fashions we want or enjoy are not currently available retail. my younger daughter is finally ready to learn to sew and I think your book will be great for her.
I love sewing because it is a part of me. I started making doll clothes when I was three. I actually sew for a living now, but love making 18 inch doll clothes because I can be creative and do what I want. It is what relaxes me…..I am teaching my 7 year old grand daughter how to sew and she is loving designing her own doll clothes.
I am going to work on making things for my granddaughter and myself.
I look forward to sewing for my family, my dolls, and my daughter’s dolls. I haven’t sewn much in the last few years, but I am setting up a sewing area and I am hopeful of learning how to sew better and to someday make doll clothes to sell.
