My granddaughter has made several drawings of clothing she has designed for her AG doll and has asked me to teach her how to sew so that she can make these items. Even though she is only 9 years old I am teaching her to sew. What a fantastic way to spend time with her . Thanks to the AG dolll, my granddaughter and I have spent some wonderful times together and have become the best of friends, THANKS!
I love sewing because I love the creativity of sewing, I love the escape into the sewing world, I love to be able to make things that my girls wouldn’t have if I had to purchase them at the store price….But most of All I Love Sewing because I Love the look on my girls faces when I make something for them. That look is all it take to get me started on my next project.
I used to sew for my daughter’s baby doll and now I am sewing for “her” daughter’s 18" doll. I really love the Liberty Jane Patterns and the thrill of seeing my little granddaughter’s wide open eyes when she sees the new creations. One day I hope to show her how to sew too!
I love outfitting my daughter’s dolls with cute clothes.
I’ve use it as therapy to help me to get better after my accident at work. since I cant work outside the house it give me a chance to feel useful and I get to relearn things again. I am enjoying working on doll fashions. This book will be really helpful to me.
