A teacher too? Wow, what are the chances of that happening? I thoght I was the only 'younger' teacher on here....
I've made layettes (for friends' kids, I don't have any)
Altered wedding gowns
Made bridesmaids dresses for two - no 3 different weddings
Made 3 quilts as an adult , working on a 4th (made countless baby doll quilts as a child).
Lots of dresses, clothes, etc.
Countless curtains, classroom items, throw pillows, etc.
Many formal gowns for family & friends
Countless alterations
I started sewing when I was 8 and began to 'see' patterns in my head. I badgered my mom about sewing and once I could reach the pedals, she taught me quickly the basics of how to run a machine, then passed me off to a friend of hers - an expert seamstress- who taught me all I know.
This past year I've opened a business featuring machine embroidery with a Jewish twist. Check out my new website www.anizochertjudaica.com
I try to sew a bit every week - it calms me like nothing else can!
