Forgotten Love Rekindled
Once upon a lifetime ago, I loved sewing. As a little girl, I'd watch my mom sew really beautiful dresses for me--for my first day of school, for my Brownies induction ceremony, for a birthday party... until she didn't. My brothers and I were growing like weeds and Mom had to go to work to help make ends meet. The sewing machine sat curiously in a lonely corner. After some years and some really well-timed hinting, she opened up the machine and taught me to use it--just a little. I made simple Barbie clothes by recycling fabric of outgrown clothes.
