Hello, My name is Terri. My mother taught me to sew when I was a child.I think it was the best gift she ever gave me. My mother has passed but I still feel her with me when I use the fabric shear that were her's from when we were little. For fun I collect mid-century vintage sewing machines. Morse, Singer and a few others.I haven't counted them lately I'm going to guess I have about 14. Over the last few years I been improving my skills in order to design and make my daughter a wedding dress. She doesn't have to wear it. I just want her to have some that represents the best of my skills, a gift of who I am to who I love. And I feel I have reached my goal, my skill confidence is up and...well wish me luck. I sure if I get stuck those wiser and more experienced will come to my rescue. That's what's so great about the sewing community. There's always someone to help. Bless you all. See you later.

Next time don't allow a client to mutilate such fine creations. Pure art.Bravo!
