Love sewing because you can make EXACTLY what you want and the quality is far better than anything you can buy in the stores.I also love books. Hope I win this!
You are the rock star of doll pattern design. I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve sewn. My motorcycle jacket has wowed everyone that’s seen it. My 5 year old granddaughter has 6 AG dolls now. I have no need to even slow down. My 4 year old granddaughter wants to learn to sew and we’ll be using your patterns.
You inspired me to try sewing. All your clothes designs and patterns made me realize that I didn’t have to purchase ok doll clothes from retail shops for a lot of money; that i can make beautiful clothes that isn’t made out of cheap material and in whatever style i wanted. Whatever I can dream up, I can sew it.
Sewing reminds me of my auntie and grandmother that taught me to sew. It also reminds me of the christmas that my moma made a bunch of doll clotes for me. It was a tremendous undertaking for her because she was not one to sew. At all. When I turned 16 she and my dad gave me a machine of my own. She loved it when I would sew for her.
My mother taught me to sew when i was a girl. She loved tbe comfort it brought her. Today when I sew doll clothes for my 6 grandaughters I feel close to my mothers and the comfort and love she shared with me.
Congratulations on the new book Cinnamon!
