I'm a "sudden;y single" mom who has gone back to school at 40, and discovered that life really is what you make of it. Even dealing w/ hardships, I've found it's important to embrace what you love & what makes us happy.
In nurturing my more creative flights of fancy through sewing & designing, photography, & studying what interests me, I am really looking forward to the future, and beginning to feel more fulfilled. Now, just have to master keeping the house Home & Garden-ready & I'll be all set!

Re: Panties Sewing Pattern
Great pattern! Thanks for sharing :) I can't wait to try this out. You even supplied a great tip - using little glass weights!

Hi,
posted: 1:50 am on January 11thOh, thank you :) I was surprised when I started sewing for American Girl dolls how much it is like making smaller children's clothes - not at all like Barbie, but yes, tighter corners, etc. Thanks for your note :)
