My Mom started teaching me to sew when I was five. I started by hand sewing (of course my stitches were loose and 3 inches long). In sixth grade I made my first doll by myself for a school project. I just found this doll in a box when I was cleaning out stuff we have had packed forever. I remember that it took me forever to make it and I had to keep ripping out stitches and starting over. I remember fighting with my Mom because she wanted me to hand embroider the face. I waited until she took a nap, cut out a face from felt pieces and glued them on. Okay, Mom, I am finally admitting this after all these years....the doll would have looked better if I had embroidered the face instead of glued on chunky pieces of felt!
