Why I love to sew: I love to sew because it allows the creative side of me to come out, no matter what pattern I use I can make it a part of who I am, but there is always room to learn more. It is a lost art and will give me some to do that many don’t know how to do and call me to help their cause. And since I’m a sewer, I collect fabric (that’s an understatement) that will come in use when I retire and will keep me busy and useful.
i love sewing because i love to watch my flat fabrics come to life as the creations i make.. clothes, quilts. accessories, whatever i will it to be…
I sew not only because it’s fun, but because I can make someone smile with a handmade gift, comfort a child with a weighted blanket, or delight a senior with a new walker bag…….it’s all about the smile! :-)
I like to sew the eighteen inch doll clothes for me and my adult daughter. I also sew baby quilts and I am trying to get my daughter interested in sewing. I do sew some garments also..
I am coming back to sewing after a pretty much 25 year break. I learned to sew in my Home Economics classes in High School, having both sewing and tailoring. After I graduated I didn’t really stick with it, instead continuing to persue knitting which I had been doing since I was 9 years old and still do to this day, 40 years later. I think this Sewing Book would be great to help me brush up on the techniques I have forgotten over the years, reinforcing them with a project to do for each one. It could become an invaluable reference book for me to go back to time after time. It couldn’t have been released at a better time!
