My mother was an avid quilt maker. She also made beautiful Barbie Doll Wedding Dresses. My Barbie dolls were the best dressed dolls in town. When I was growing up, I never understood her love of sewing. Now I understand.
When my daughter was about 5 years old, she wanted new clothes for her 18" play doll. So, I bought a few patterns and dragged out the old sewing machine that my mother gave me when I was 20 (it has been hiding in a closet for about about 25 years). I was hooked after the first doll dress!
It was a small step from doll clothes to Children's Boutique Clothing. My friends and family encouraged me to take that step. I now have a sewing room. Not just a sewing machine, a sewing ROOM. I have developed a terrible fabric addiction. More on that later...
