Sewing is like art…you start with a canvas or material and create a masterpiece to be shared with others. Doll clothes are my masterpieces. The patterns and ideas I get through Pixie Faire and Liberty Jane are my tools to help make my masterpieces. When someone compliments the doll clothes I make it gives me a thrill beyond explanation.
So, who won???
Would love a copy for my 10 year old daughter who wants to learn to sew.
I have just gotten an 18" doll to sew clothes for. This book would be a great help. I’m hoping it will help me scale the patterns up for my 23" doll that I’ve had since I was 10.
I love to sew because it gives a feeling of accomplishment that housework and cooking don’t. i love a clean house, but how long does that last? And cooking a good meal that fills my family, wonderful, but the the dishes. When I finish a project, it is finished and I have some nice to wear, display or cuddle under. I also love to teach sewing to anyone willing to put in the time to learn.
