Note: I don't know what happend to the original post one. I'm blaming small people who aren't supposed to be touching the computer.
I have always loved to sew. When I was a very little girl,
our homeschool co-op was making princess hats, and all us little people had a
chance to sew a seam - on the sewing machine. I was hooked. I was constantly
making cloths for everyone's American Girl dolls. Being small, they had the advantage
of being easily made by hand. When I was twelve or so, I discovered Living
History, and I was totally hooked. I sewed historical clothing (don't dare call
them costumes!) from many different eras over the years, and eventually got a
sewing machine that didn't catch and pull when I went too fast.
Eventually, I managed to get my sister to join me in my
favorite hobby, and then I had even more sewing to do.
I was even so insane as to made my own wedding dress. I enjoyed it, but it was SO much work. And kinda stressful.
