One of my favorite sewing scenes is from the "small screen". On The Cosby Show, Denise was taking Home Ec and tried to make a copy of a very expensive shirt for Theo. He was going to wear it on an important date. By the time she got finished with it, one sleeve was short, the other one was long and the front was - well, not right to say the least. When Theo saw it he was freaking out until his date came in and thought it was very unique and very cool.

Oh, if only real life ended up like a 30 minute sit-com!

My Grandmother introduced me to sewing when I was a little girl, and now I am teaching my 10 yr old and 8 yr old daughters how to sew. This book looks like a great guide for them as they learn. I sew doll clothes for their dolls, and they are starting to use scraps of fabric for simple tops and skirts,too. Thanks for giving away the books. Whoever receives them will love the projects.
