I stated making doll clothes for my cats when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I didn't play with dolls but I had well dressed cats. My Gram would let me dress them up for about half hour each day. Then in junior high I started making most of my own clothes. I made my wedding dress, also have sewed for other weddings. Even did motorcycle, snowmobile and boat seats. I just enjoy sewing. Quilts are my favorite now days.
