I love sewing and I want to teach an 8-year old friend how to do it and enjoy it too. She has a new AG doll and her budget for that brand of clothing is non-existent. I have lots of fabric and patterns, but I would like her to learn to do it correctly. Sounds like your book is just the ticket! I learned to begin sewing with my grandmother and on her treadle machine. (Yes, I’m that old.)
I’d love to win this contest!
I love your site. I could really use your book. Thanks.
I have sewn since I was big enough to reach the peddle on my grandmother’s machine. Yes, it gives the seamstress a sense of pride and accomplishment but it let me have have new clothes that we couldn’t afford to go to the store and buy ready made things.It is also a fantastic way to re-purpose materials, make gifts and other things long before the “green movement” became the “thing to do”. As I moved around the world with my military husband, I started teaching sewing. Not only did these groups teach a new skill but they also provided support for those, including myself, who were far away from family and old friends or whose spouses were gone for months at a time. These are just a few of the reasons why I love sewing.
How can I get the sewing book.
