Profile Information
- I am an awesome:
- I have been sewing since I was 12 and started on a singer that had a motor added to it after world war 2. I have 5 grandchildren altogether. I worked in the fabric dept of TG&Y back in the late 70's for 5 years. I have always loved fabric and sewing. I dabble in crochet and cross stitch and hand emboridery. I have made items in the past and sold them but I usually sew for family.
- My sewing interests are:
- garment, cross stitch
- My sewing machine(s):
- I have a Bernina sewing machine and a Bernina 4 spool serger. I also have an old singer computerized machine (when they first came out)
- I am interested in patterns such as:
- I usually buy Simplicity, McCalls and Butterick. I find more time to buy patterns than I do to actually stop and make them but I can't pass up when thery are on sale at Jo-anns. I rationalize my addiction to patterns but telling myself they may get discontinued.
