I LOVE SEWING because I get a rush from completing a project! It is so much fun to create something from scratch and use your creativity!
I love Liberty Jane and your inspiration. I am a self-taught sewer and could use any help I can get.
Sewing is simple therapy for me! Handling the textiles, creating with notions and embellishments and various resources, setting a goal, gifting or just-for-the-pleasure-of-it, following the footsteps of my teachers (grandma and aunt), offering lessons to young laddies in their learning stage of sewing by hand or machine, laughing-at or loving the end product….ahhhh. What a pleasure to have so many options in sewing and serger and embroidery machines. I’ll never be too old (been sewing for 55 years!) to learn more tips and tricks..from your book!
I made clothes for my daughters when they were young but my skills are “rustly”. I would love to win the book and brush up.
I have always loved sewing, I even sewed Barbie patterns by hand before I had a sewing machine. I was lucky enough to be able to learn how to sew in home ec class in school. Sewing is my passion and I can lose myself in it for hours.
