I love sewing because of all the wonderful things you can make. I think it is just an all around essential thing to learn to do. I can’t wait to teach my future kids to sew.
I love sewing because it gives me an opportunity to be creative and bring to joy to others. It is a way for me to be who I really am! Congrats on the new book!
I started sewing when I was 5 years old making doll clothes from feed sacks. I made my first dress when I was 9. It was white with red polka dots and had red ties at the shoulder and a red belt. I was so proud! I am now 65 years young and give sewing lessons to friends and my 9 year old granddaughter but am constantly amazed that I continue to learn new things. Thank you for allowing me to share my story.
I love being able to sew things for my home and family … it allows me to get “custom” looks at a price my budget can handle. :)
I love sewing even more as a Cutting Room member. Great site. Thanks!
