I love to sew for many reasons. I find it relaxing, creative and I have my choice of fabrics and patterns to suit my individuality.
Every female relative on my mothers side either crocheted or sewed. My grandmother would push her dining room table in the corner to make room for a quilt rack and every time anyone visited they would sit down and stitch. My aunt was the only one who had patience enough to teach me to crochet because I was the only left hander. Once an adult my mother and I would sew together. My daughter has no interest in these arts forms. I am trying to instill some kind of craft into my grand daughter. I also taught myself to knit and cross stitch. My best friend does bead work and her and I get together and just stich and bead for a day. I would love Cinnamon’s new book. All the patterns are so easy and the finished product is something you can be proud you made. It looks professional.
My granddaughter wants to learn to sew, this would be perfect for er!
there is nothing that makes me happier than to see the look on my grand daughter’s face when she has doll clothes i have made that are so lovely.
I love to sew because it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, and I have put time into something wonderful. I’m always excited to learn new things/tips! :)
