I discovered Liberty Jane about ten days ago fooling around with my IPad. Since then I have signed up for everything you offer, bought both of Jason’s books thru Amazon and have read them both. I am 73 years old and sew on a 55 year old Singer. I have not ordered any patterns yet because I do not know how to download the files. (someone is coming to help me on Monday). My head is spinning around in this whole new world. Thanks for the new experience. My grand daughters love the clothes I have made for their AG dolls and are learning to sew themselves. In the past four years I have donated six fifty piece wardrobes to the auction
fundraiser at their school. My efforts so far have brought in over $2500. My goal now is to become as proficient on my Apple laptop as I am on my Singer tabletop !
Oh, I just LOVE to sew!!! I just recently started because I wanted to make some things for my niece’s doll, and well, that was all she wrote! I discovered how exciting it is to see a plain piece of fabric become something so unique & cute – & wearable!! Just thinking about the next thing I could possibly create makes me so excited, yet somehow it’s very therapeutic at the same time! Such a wonderful creative outlet! I look forward to the next time I’ll be able to sew right after I get up from one project. I have 2 baby girls & I can’t wait to do projects for them! I’d love to get this book because although I’m very excited to sew, I’m very limited in what I can do because I’m just having to figure things out on my own as I go. It would be awesome to have a pro “teaching” me with pictures & instructions (& a place where I could come back to if I forget the lesson!).
so far I have made and delivered 160 toddler size cloth dolls to children with devastating diseases or physical trauma status.
I’d love to have this book and be able to make things for healthier reasons and know at least one great grand daughter has one, I can sew for if I get this free book. Your outfits shone here are just awesome.
Thanks for the opportunity. I just turned 73 this month, and am a retired nurse and writer, plus crafter.
i love sewing , i have been sewing since i was young girl. i use too make all my clothes and kids now i make my Grand kids clothes .
I love to sew because I like to be able to create things for dolls myself. Exactly how I want them to look.
