I have been sewing for more than 10 years. But it really picked up when my sister-in-law showed me how to make a tote bag. I started making them by the dozens and sold them at fairs. From that it has given me the confidence to make other things. I love to sew and feel good after I complete a project. I don't have to feel like all I do is Cook and clean everyday. That I accomplished something worth while.
