'OLD' fogy seamstress! š
Hi! I'm called 'patkeymouse'! , and YES! Sing it to the Mickey Mouse Club theme music. (telling my age here! HA! HA!). I LOVE to s e w. Made doll clothes from a very young age. Made my first ME piece of clothing at age 10, on my Grandmother's treadle sewing machine....BOY have we come a LONG way?! It was a Navy blue print, cotton shift. I put the zipper in crooked and she told me to take it out. Stubborn me refused! BUT, I DID learn to understand that correcting my mistakes shows the difference between home-made and hand-made. She later told me that I had became a much better sewer than she ever was. BUT, something I was ALWAYS envious of was SHE could lay another garment out and cut a pattern by it. I've always thought I needed that 'crutch' (being a pattern). Hope I can learn to do that here. Wish me LUCK!
