Philadelphia, PA, USmember
I started sewing when I was young by making doll clothes. As a pre-teen I took a summer sewing class at a local mall. I taught myself cross-stitch, tatting, needlepoint,embroidery & crochet. I have so many books and I love to learn new things.
When my boys were younger I would make them clothes: pants, shorts, shirts, hats etc.
When my daughter was younger I would make her lots of clothes, too.
I remember getting a hand-me-down sun suit that I loved...I copied it and made her and her cousin matching sunsuits and hats.
For over the last 10 years I've taught sewing at a school.
For the past 3 years I designed and made costumes for the high school play .

I love counted cross stitch, it is wonderful to start with a blank fabric and just add the colors and watch a picture appear!
