Re: Advice for those thinking about a career in sewing or design

After working many years in sewing plants I decided to learn everything they could teach me . It has been 12 years since the plant I worked at closed . I still sew for a lot of people making anything from bridesmaid dresses to scrubs . For me it is a restful time to create and enjoy my gift .My granddaughters also enjoy their dresses and costumes..Thank you for the information you send me I am never too old to learn something new ....
