I love sewing because the possibilities are limitless. Sewing brings me joy and the creative results of sewing bring joy to others. I would love to pass the joy of learning to sew on to my grandchildren.
I love to sew because it gives me an opportunity to create and to share those creations with loved ones.
I love sewing because it offers me a challenge. How can I take this piece of fabric and turn it into something unique and fashionable? Sewing offers me an escape from my everyday life-it’s something that’s there waiting for me when I have a few free minutes or (even less often with children)-a few hours. It’s what I do for fun. I love to make clothes for my children and for others. The look on their faces when they see something homemade is priceless. It gives me great joy when my daughters come up to me and say “Wow mom, you’re really talented. You’re great at sewing!” Sewing simply makes me smile.
I am new to trying to sew clothes. I would love to win the book!
I love sewing because it’s fun!! If I should win, I will give this book to my 9 year old granddaughter, so that she can learn for herself how much fun it is!!
